For this response post, I have focused on Brooke Wenger’s blog post #1 about Digital Learning and Privacy.

Brooke, I really resonate with your journey of finding what you’re most passionate about career-wise. It’s refreshing to hear how you’ve stayed true to your values while navigating different educational paths. I think that’s such a powerful approach, especially in a world where we often feel pressured to have it all figured out. Your interest in teaching at the elementary level or pursuing a health and wellness career shows how you combine your passion for helping others with personal growth, which is inspiring!

Your thoughts on online learning versus in-person interactions are so relatable, especially your emphasis on structure with asynchronous courses. It’s great that you’ve found a balance, using online courses to build self-discipline. As for your minimal online presence, your awareness of digital privacy and security is insightful, and I think it’s crucial as we move into more digital spaces professionally.
