Virtual NAMEPLATES for EDS 3280T [FA21] by Dr Spit

Symbol 1: Learning!

espitle1 — 2021-08-24 17:11:41 UTC

This represents learning for me :) We all have so much to share and give to every step of our learning journey.

Symbol 2: Literacy...reading

espitle1 — 2021-08-24 17:11:52 UTC

I hated reading (print) when I was a kid. Now I have a PhD in literacy ...so something happened to me! Stay tuned! :)

Symbol 3: Loves of my life

espitle1 — 2021-08-24 17:12:04 UTC

Dan, Jessye and Molly are the loves of my life. They've taught me what love means <3

Symbol 4: Peace & Rejuvenation

espitle1 — 2021-08-24 17:12:19 UTC

Every summer, when our girls were little, we'd load up the car the day after school finished in May and head to Cali! Pacific Coast Hwy! This is Julie Pfeiffer Burns State Park on the PCH...Bucket list location!

Leave it behind in 2020!

espitle1 — 2021-08-24 17:12:58 UTC

I'm not typically a sad person...I'm very positive about my life and daily living. However, I have felt a sense of sadness for the last year and a half, especially, and I want to leave that dark cloud behind in 2020. I want to look forward to this semester/school year with more hope and excitement than I've felt since before the pandemic. So thrilled to be back on campus...even masked! Let's do this! :)

Nickname: SPIT :)

espitle1 — 2021-08-24 17:13:10 UTC

I started my career teaching middle school...those kids could do a LOT with the last name Spitler [haha!] so I disarmed them right away. This is actually a Spitfire sticker [Vans] that my girls and I found and liked on one of our Cali trips years ago. Cheers!

Symbol 1: Gardening

sbild — 2021-08-24 23:18:14 UTC

I chose this symbol because gardening and growing things is something I took up over the pandemic and it has been so rewarding! I'm not very good at it, but I love taking care of the plants and seeing beautiful flowers and tomatoes.

Social Studies

Secondary Science (Biology)

morganschool6913 — 2021-08-24 23:18:18 UTC

I am a biology major. I love science in general but biology has always been my favorite. I love learning and investigating living things and how the human body works. I hope to teach middle school science because I think if you can get kids that age interested in science and education, they stay curious and engaged as they move forward in their life.

Rowday Designs

catherinenelson111 — 2021-08-24 23:18:35 UTC

My husband and my son are an important aspect of my life!

Symbol 1: Golf

morgynstaats — 2021-08-24 23:18:48 UTC

I never did anything new growing up. When I started my 2nd year of high school I decided I wanted to play golf. It was the first time that I decided to try something new and I stuck with it. I ended up really enjoying it and I still play to this day. It's a reminder that, although new things can be scary, they can also be worth it.

Content Area: Social Studies

treal — 2021-08-24 23:18:50 UTC

cozarttr — 2021-08-24 23:19:12 UTC

chipotle

Chipotle is a part of my personality now because I work there. So if I am not at school, I am at work so, sometimes I will come in smelling like burritos!! gross

Aspect 1: Giving

gpanelli — 2021-08-24 23:20:01 UTC

I sincerely enjoy helping and giving back. Whether it's to people, animals, and even to this lovely Earth we were given!

Content Area: English

visserrikki — 2021-08-24 23:20:02 UTC

In 2016 I got my Associate's in Creative Writing from RRCC and in 2018 I decided that I wanted to go back to school and finish up my Bachelors and become an English teacher. I've always been an avid reader and writer and growing up with a lot of troubled kids made me want to pursue a career where I could help kids like them.

Family

cwhites4 — 2021-08-24 23:20:07 UTC

This is a picture of my family taken at my cousin's wedding a few days ago. Family is super important to me, and I am very excited for my older brother to get married next month and add to our family!

Symbol 1

emilyho7918 — 2021-08-24 23:20:07 UTC

One of my greatest fears is becoming stagnant in life. I think the greatest things in life is knowledge; I never want to stop learning, even in old age. After getting my degree and becoming a teacher, I'd like to get a culinary or cosmetology certification!

treal — 2021-08-24 23:20:15 UTC

I like to watch movies, and this image is from one of my favorites, "Hot Fuzz"

2021-08-24 23:20:26 UTC

Big fan of the stories and gameplay of the Pan-Xeno series. Since I started playing the games they've kinda been a mainstay in my library.

I also love jewlery and metal smithing! Here is another piece I have made that I throughly enjoy and I feel encapsulates some of my style!

mlove161 — 2021-08-24 23:20:48 UTC

I'm helping to plant a church in the next year, which is the second important aspect of my life!

Symbol 2: Family

morgynstaats — 2021-08-24 23:21:07 UTC

My family continue to support me with everything I do. They have been there when I'm struggling and celebrating and I strive to be better every day because of them.

cozarttr — 2021-08-24 23:21:29 UTC

I also love my dogs and family... but my dogs are a bit cuter to look at! ;)

Art Ed

joelmaverick — 2021-08-24 23:21:29 UTC

Symbol 2: Animal Crossing

sbild — 2021-08-24 23:21:29 UTC

Animal Crossing is something else I've done a lot during the pandemic, and I think it really helped give me structure and purpose during those times where I didn't have much of a reason to get up. Decorating islands and celebrating events is so fun for me. I've been playing almost religiously since 2013!

cozarttr — 2021-08-24 23:21:42 UTC

emilyho7918 — 2021-08-24 23:21:43 UTC

I enjoy board and card games, especially Magic: The Gathering

Aspect 2: Traveling

gpanelli — 2021-08-24 23:21:59 UTC

I also love to travel. I enjoy visiting other countries, learning their culture, and making new experiences. Every new country I visit, I am determined to help out people in need!

My Lil Family

2021-08-24 23:22:20 UTC

I love my poodles and I love my partner!

2021-08-24 23:22:39 UTC

While I've never been the biggest fan of the mystery genre due to how slow it can be, I love the Lupin books. Arsene has the charisma to carry the stories and you can see his influence on many modern "gentleman thieves."

Family

morganschool6913 — 2021-08-24 23:22:44 UTC

My family is one of the most important things in my life. I feel this way about my immediate family as well as my extended family.

Symbol 1: Motorcycles

mswartz21 — 2021-08-24 23:22:48 UTC

This is my first motorcycle and my favorite as well as one of my favorite pass times.

Leaving Behind in 2020

cozarttr — 2021-08-24 23:22:48 UTC

I want to leave behind feeling stagnant! It was too easy to get into a rut with the pandemic and I want to make ALL of my time worthwhile and truly make it count!

Symbol 1

hlsievert — 2021-08-24 23:22:55 UTC

I like to set challenges for myself and set different goals. Some of those goals that I have set for myself are for my own education, personal life, and physical health. One of them is to hike all of the 14ers in our beautiful state. I am trying to convince myself that I enjoy running... So I've been signing up for different races.

Leaving Behind: Anxiety!!!!

morgynstaats — 2021-08-24 23:23:05 UTC

I struggle with anxiety. I'm working towards being more confident in my every day life and so in 2021 I want to reduce how often I feel anxious!

Baseball

2021-08-24 23:23:05 UTC

I love being active and playing sports, especially baseball. Here's me meeting Dinger.

emilyho7918 — 2021-08-24 23:23:33 UTC

Growing up, my family and close friends would always call me Emma. For some reason, they told me Emma fit better than "Emily".

Symbol 2: Guitars

mswartz21 — 2021-08-24 23:23:36 UTC

I like to also collect and build guitars.

Astrology

2021-08-24 23:23:41 UTC

I heavily believe in astrology and how the zodiac signs tell us more about a person. I am a libra, do what you will with that information :)

Nickname

cozarttr — 2021-08-24 23:23:47 UTC

I have been called TayTay, Tay, Taytertot and much more! Just an affectionate way to shorten my name!

Hobbies

joelmaverick — 2021-08-24 23:23:48 UTC

Symbol 1: Submarine

bshafer11 — 2021-08-24 23:23:52 UTC

I served aboard the USS Alexandria (SSN-757) and my time aboard shaped who I am today

Chess

2021-08-24 23:23:56 UTC

I'm a huge fan of chess - even though I'm not that good at it. If you got a chess.com account, hit me up.

Something to leave behind

sbild — 2021-08-24 23:23:57 UTC

Something I want to leave behind in 2020/2021 is self doubt and anxiety. The pandemic only made me more agoraphobic than ever, but hopefully going back in-person and going into student teaching I'll be able to grow as a person more and be able to trust myself to do well at things.

Creativity

morganschool6913 — 2021-08-24 23:24:07 UTC

I love many creative activities. I love to make things with my hands. I love to knit, cross stitch, sew, make scrapbooks, and paint.

I think creativity is a highly under valued aspect of life, learning, and science. I hope to incorporate as much creativity into my science class as possible.

Negativity

cwhites4 — 2021-08-24 23:24:10 UTC

I would like to leave general negativity in 2020. I think this past year has been super tough for everyone and it has been hard to find positivity in life but I am ready to move forward!

Leaving Behind

mlove161 — 2021-08-24 23:24:15 UTC

I'm sure everybody can relate to this, but I want to leave that overwhelming sense of fear and uncertainty in 2020! To focus on the good and the positive!

Leave behind....

gpanelli — 2021-08-24 23:24:16 UTC

Negative energy. When you surround yourself with positive energy, positive things will come. It took me some time to learn this, but I am glad I did because it is an essential to life.

Symbol 3: Opera

mswartz21 — 2021-08-24 23:24:32 UTC

I loved doing operas, and this is the last one I did before the plague.

No nickname - just Carly :)

cwhites4 — 2021-08-24 23:24:46 UTC

I don't really go by any nicknames, just Carly!

emilyho7918 — 2021-08-24 23:24:49 UTC

In the year of 2020-21, I'd like to let go of things I couldn't control at the time.

Nickname: Auntie Momo

morgynstaats — 2021-08-24 23:25:19 UTC

I've never had a real nickname but my nieces call me Auntie Momo which is pretty cute.

Mikey

mswartz21 — 2021-08-24 23:25:25 UTC

I have been going by Mikey all my life and simply have no desire to be called anything else.

What I want to Leave Behind

2021-08-24 23:25:32 UTC

Honestly I've not given it much thought. But if there is something I want to leave behind in those around me, it's an "idea" of some kind or to give them something that they didn't know before. So far it seems to be working.

Something I want to leave behind

treal — 2021-08-24 23:25:43 UTC

There's a bright fluorescent light in my basement that I hate and my wife always turns it on. I hope to replace it soon.

joelmaverick — 2021-08-24 23:25:47 UTC

Ever since the quarantine my sleep cycle was destroyed I need to sleep more.

Sustainability

2021-08-24 23:25:50 UTC

Sustainability and combating climate collapse is hugely important to me. The first of many crucial transformative movements that need to happen for the liberation of the people of the world. My partner and I learning how to be beekeepers and good stewards of the land :)

Nickname: Shaferberry

bshafer11 — 2021-08-24 23:26:00 UTC

My nickname while on board the Alexandria was Shaferberry because I apparently look like the Franken berry mascot.

Leaving Behind

2021-08-24 23:26:08 UTC

Self-Doubt

Nickname

mlove161 — 2021-08-24 23:26:11 UTC

I haven't had too many nicknames, but I do go by Maddie as well which is short for Madelynn, so I guess that counts!

Nickname

sbild — 2021-08-24 23:26:30 UTC

The only nickname I have ever had in my life is "Sarah Bell." One of the managers at my job calls me this, so it's a new thing for me, having a nickname. I'm not sure why she does it, but ever since I've worked there she calls me Sarah Bell. It's nice, makes me feel kind of special in the world of retail minimum wage.

sjarolmen — 2021-08-24 23:26:52 UTC

Something I would like to live behind in 2020 would be a lack of confidence for myself, or in other words I hope to gain more confidence in 2021.

dathoms41 — 2021-08-24 23:27:00 UTC

My family is heavily ethnically German and I take a lot of pride in that fact. I have been fascinated with German culture and language. The only reason I haven't taken courses in German Language here at Metro is because of some unexpected changes to what courses I need to take to graduate on time.

Leaving behind: hopelessness

2021-08-24 23:27:12 UTC

Food and Cooking

2021-08-24 23:27:13 UTC

Food is everything. How we grow, consume, and share food tells so much about who we are as people.

Symbol 2

hlsievert — 2021-08-24 23:27:19 UTC

The picture above is to represent kindness. You don't know what other struggles people are going through. There's a lot going on in our world right now, and a lot going on in probably our own personal lives. It's a pretty simple concept but something that isn't necessarily evident right now... so just be kind!

Reading

visserrikki — 2021-08-24 23:27:45 UTC

Big surprise, the English major likes books. My dad started trying to read Lord of the Rings to my brother and I at age 6 and a lifelong obsession was born... kinda.

Nickname

gpanelli — 2021-08-24 23:27:45 UTC

A common nickname I am given by everyone (except my family) is "Gabby" and honestly I do not like it. Many people assume I like to be called this because it is shorter and it's a common nickname for my name. I love the name I was given and I prefer to be called it!

Learning

morganschool6913 — 2021-08-24 23:27:52 UTC

We as humans are always learning. Part of being a teacher in this day and age is helping students realize that learning can look different for different people and that it is happening weather they realize it or not. We need to instill good learning habits in our students so that they can continue to learn for their whole life.

Nickname

treal — 2021-08-24 23:27:53 UTC

Some members of my family call me Ty, but I really don't like to go by any nicknames. If my name must be shortened, I'm ok with T.

Baseball

jtheroux2 — 2021-08-24 23:28:00 UTC

Something that represents me is baseball. I have been playing baseball since I was five years old and I also started coaching three years ago, which that helped me realize that I want to become a teacher.

Nickname

joelmaverick — 2021-08-24 23:28:10 UTC

My nickname is Lucas because as a kid I was all over the place and the duck on the Mexican candy was a crazy and named Lucas. mom started calling me Lucas and it stuck

Nickname

sjarolmen — 2021-08-24 23:28:19 UTC

I don't really have a nickname because my name is pretty simple but my closer friends shorten my name to Sum and my even closer friends joke around and call me winter

Arrora

2021-08-24 23:28:26 UTC

My sister could not pronounce my name so she would call me Arrora, which reminds me of the princess :)

dathoms41 — 2021-08-24 23:28:38 UTC

I have gone by the nickname Cannon as that is my username on almost everything I have online for games or other social sites. I prefer to only have people who have seen this username actually use it though. So, please just call me Dylan.

Leaving Behind in 2020

2021-08-24 23:28:44 UTC

Bye.

My nickname!

2021-08-24 23:29:13 UTC

Most people call me Kev because it sounds a little cooler than kevin.

jakselra — 2021-08-24 23:29:35 UTC

jakselra — 2021-08-24 23:31:02 UTC

Leaving in 2020

hlsievert — 2021-08-24 23:31:06 UTC

I'd like to leave behind worrying!! Worrying about the future, worrying about what will happen next. Trying to enjoy and appreciate even the small blessings that I've been given even in the uncertain year!

Nickname = Katertot

catherinenelson111 — 2021-08-24 23:32:39 UTC

What I am leaving behond from 2020...is my fear of publicly presenting.

Snowboarding

jtheroux2 — 2021-08-24 23:33:35 UTC

Another thing that represents me is snowboarding every season with my girlfriend and her family.

Nickname

2021-08-24 23:33:56 UTC

Mr. Tews (pronounced Toes)

Given to me by teammates on my track team. Taken from my last name, mostly.

Nickname: Iggy

morganschool6913 — 2021-08-24 23:34:39 UTC

My brother had some trouble hearing and speaking when he was a toddler. He couldn't say 'sissy'. When he tried he said 'iggy' so that became my nickname within my family. My brother is the only one who uses it anymore.

Leave Behind in 2020

jtheroux2 — 2021-08-24 23:37:13 UTC

I would like to leave back the Online Semesters of Fall 2020 and Spring 2021

Leave Behind: Fear

morganschool6913 — 2021-08-24 23:37:25 UTC

I am not a person that lives my life with a lot of fear so this last year or year and a half has been hard. I never want to live with this kind of fear again.

Nickname

jtheroux2 — 2021-08-24 23:39:19 UTC

My nickname is Josh and was given that nickname when I was young and kept it ever since.

Tea

visserrikki — 2021-08-24 23:41:30 UTC

I know more than your average bear when it comes to tea, and I collect tea cups from wherever I travel.

2021-08-24 23:44:35 UTC

Symbol 2: Reading

bshafer11 — 2021-08-24 23:49:45 UTC

I enjoy reading and am currently reading through the Darth Bane trilogy in Star Wars and The Crusade Through Arab Eyes.

DnD

visserrikki — 2021-08-24 23:57:02 UTC

I started running a DnD game for my friends over the pandemic and it's become a bit of an obsession lately. I find there is a lot of skill crossover between teaching and DMing, and it's fun to torture my friends >:}

Leave Behind 2020

dathoms41 — 2021-08-24 23:58:06 UTC

I would like to to leave the attitude and more down feelings that 2020 gave me.

Leaving behind: Shame

visserrikki — 2021-08-24 23:59:38 UTC

I'm tired of being embarrassed of things that make me happy. I like trashy reality shows and I like trashy romance novels and I will not apologize!

dathoms41 — 2021-08-25 00:01:14 UTC

I have been a huge fan of anime since I was back in high school. Anime has always given me a good way to get a break from whatever life has thrown my way and has always been a good way to experience new stories and perspectives that I don't usually think about.

Nickname: Rikkalin

visserrikki — 2021-08-25 00:02:15 UTC

A friend of mine came up with this in high school. According to him it's because it sounds like Ritalin and I am a total space cadet. Apparently he was a prophet because cut to a decade later and I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult.

2021-08-25 00:02:43 UTC

2021-08-25 00:09:18 UTC

My content area of focus is reading and writing. Back in high school, I had some pretty great teachers and mentors that helped me figure out that I had something to offer to the next generations. Since then, I figured I could devote myself to teaching and try to make a difference in education. Or at the very least, help inspire a student to make a difference whether it be in their communities, or on a greater scale.

I haven't always loved to read. I actually hated reading when I was young. But I found books and friends that really changed my view and opinion about reading and books.

I put a picture of the lift bridge in Duluth, MN because I feel it is a good image that represents where I'm from. "The land of 10,000 lakes," the great state of Minnesota!

This picture is important to me because I got to visit Croatia with my grandpa back in 2013, who was born in Croatia. He is in the national high school hall of fame for coaching basketball. I hope someday I can have a fraction of the success that he had.

What I want to leave behind!

I've never really had a nickname that has ever stuck. Everyone usually just calls me by my first name, Conner.
