Leveling Up Coding Skills:
For Beginners
To make coding practice more engaging, I designed an interactive review game using GimKit. Aimed at beginners, this game turns essential coding concepts into a fast‑paced challenge where learners earn points, unlock power‑ups, and test their knowledge in a fun, low‑stress environment. By blending review with gameplay, the activity not only reinforced key coding skills but also boosted motivation and participation.

SAMR Evaluation of Tech Tools
In this project, I conducted an evaluation using the SAMR Model (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) to assess the impact of emerging technologies on teaching and learning. The analysis highlighted how digital tools can move beyond basic substitution to create truly transformative learning experiences. By aligning each tool with the SAMR framework, I demonstrated how thoughtful integration fosters creativity, collaboration, and deeper student engagement.

The experience featured:
-
Quizzes to check understanding after each animal
-
Fun fact popups to spark curiosity
-
Games like drag‑and‑drop puzzles and footprint matching
-
Reflection questions to encourage personal connection
​
The goal was for learners to:
-
Identify the Big Five animals and their unique adaptations
-
Locate the South African savanna and understand its ecosystem
-
Develop observation, critical thinking, and digital literacy skills

YouTube Vlog: Digital PSA
For this project, I created a short and engaging Public Service Announcement (PSA) video highlighting the importance of digital etiquette. Using humor, relatable scenarios, and on‑screen visuals, the PSA addressed key online behaviors such as being respectful in communication, protecting privacy, and avoiding harmful posting habits.
​
The video was designed to connect with today’s learners through a playful yet meaningful message: being a good digital citizen means showing kindness, responsibility, and awareness every time you go online. This project sharpened my skills in scriptwriting, video editing, and multimedia storytelling, while reinforcing how digital citizenship impacts real‑world relationships and opportunities.
