Educational Philosophy
edit
As both a learner and teacher, I approach Wikipedia with humility and curiosity. I believe that:
- Learning is a lifelong journey
- Knowledge should be accessible to all
- Digital spaces can nurture language revitalization
- Game-based approaches can transform education
- Community collaboration strengthens educational outcomes
- Curriculum development
- Educational game design
- Music composition and production
- Bass, guitar, and piano (perpetual beginner with enthusiasm!)
- ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (intermediate)
While I consider myself a perpetual beginner, I enjoy:
- Composing and arranging music
- Exploring synthesis and electronic music production
- Learning from various world music traditions
- Playing bass, guitar, and piano
- Current project: Creating music inspired by '80s Mbaqanga
- Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page
- I welcome collaboration on ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi Wikipedia projects
- Happy to connect with other educators and language enthusiasts
