I am the Instructional Media Designer and co-coordinator for the Digital Liberal Arts Program at Whittier College. I work on building programs and projects that blend pedagogy with digital technologies. I teach digital storytelling to build digital literacy skills (the ability to use digital, visual, textual and technological tools in teaching and learning) and get students thinking about how they are creators of technology, not just consumers. My teaching and learning interests are also mapping, using digital tools to build community partnerships, wearable technologies, and augmented reality. My website is: soniachaidez.com
