Blog

Welcome to my blog! I'm Stefanie Enokian, a dedicated educator in Burbank, California. This blog began as a platform for assignments during my Master's in Educational Technology program at Michigan State University. Here, you'll find a collection of educational concepts, insights, and reflections that I've developed throughout my coursework. Whether you're exploring posts by specific courses or diving into the content as a whole, I hope you find valuable ideas and inspiration. Though it started as part of my academic journey, this blog is now a space for me to continue sharing my thoughts and experiences in the field of education. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to connecting with you!
