edmoves podcast: Kim Jaxon and The Next Right Thing

photo of Kim JaxonThank you so much Dr. Serena Hicks for inviting me to join the #edmoves podcast! Listen to our conversation about course design and the role of technology in the now times. We do a lot of unpacking of the blog I wrote at the beginning of the semester too. Appreciate the opportunity to think through these ideas.

Dr. Kim Jaxon

I’m a Professor of English (Composition & Literacy) at California State University, Chico and Director of the Northern California Writing Project. I received my Ph.D. at UC, Berkeley in the Language & Literacy, Society & Culture program in the Graduate School of Education. My research interests focus on theories of literacy, particularly digital literacies, the teaching of writing, course design, and teacher education. In my research and my teaching, I use a variety of digital platforms and consider the affordances in terms of student learning and participation. Featured contributor for Connected Learning Alliance. And, honored to be awarded Outstanding Teacher at Chico State 2019-2020. Finally, I’m a self proclaimed geek.
