Loving to Read: Initiating Positive Reading Habits in a Digital Childhood (Audio Only)
No full textA session hosted as part of the 2025 Messiah University Humanities Symposium on Living Digitally. Today’s children are learning to use technology before they learn to read, but reading is still a fundamental skill for success in school and in life. How do children learn to read and learn to love reading in a digital world? Literacy Education Professor Sarah Fischer, Ph.D. will introduce the science and scholarship surrounding learning to read. Panel conversation consisting of a parent, student, and librarians will discuss the ways in which they have negotiated the challenges and rewards when helping children develop an identity as a reader. Story time and activities for children will be provided in the library\u27s Athenaeum. Hosted by MU pre-education students.
Note: The Audio cuts off before the end of the panel conversation
“You Will Have a COVID Baby?!”: A Mama PhD Candidate’s Critical Incidents
Get PDFIn this article, I explore a disruptive shift to pandemic instruction in March 2020 and the challenges COVID-19 brought to my personal and professional lives. I use three autoethnographic vignettes, coupled with social media posts, to answer the following research question: How did the global pandemic affect my identity negotiation as a mama PhD candidate in physical and digital spaces and my choices as a novice teaching associate (TA)? As a methodological approach, this article employs the critical incident technique (Tripp) in investigating digital identity construction through autoethnographic writing (Hanauer). The findings show that the pandemic dramatically influenced my identities as a mama PhD Candidate and TA in physical and digital spaces. Self-reflections on my digital identity negotiation during the pandemic helped me understand students’ needs in terms of empathetic approaches to teaching, engaging students in personal types of writing, and providing spaces for students’ creativity and agency. Through reflexivity, I found meaning and accepted different experiences during the pandemic. The article concludes with the pedagogical implications of the benefits of autoethnographic writing.
