The GenEd Magazine (GEM) is an open-access publication space where the General Education English Program (GEEP) at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) showcases the winners of the General Education Writing Awards (GEWA) each year.

3. ENGL 2020/2030: Sophomore-level Literary Analysis

Using the GEM

Students and teachers alike can use the GEM to showcase student example texts for each General Education English course.

This resource is used in the Introduction to Education course at Middle Tennessee State University. Readers will explore the foundations of American education through a critical lens. Modules include, social foundations of education, theoretical and ethical perspectives as well as an introduction to curriculum, assessment and classroom management.

This collection features essays, case studies, and pedagogical approaches that explore how educators managed the privacy, security, and safety concerns that rushed into our lives as we shifted into emergency remote learning in 2020. While the COVID-19 pandemic brought this concern into focus, privacy issues with online learning continue to exist alongside us and our students.

This book provides readers insight into the current state of privacy issues, describes the challenges and rewards of developing more privacy-focused learning environments, and presents several resources and tools that readers can bring to their own teaching practices.

Representing a variety of perspectives from K-12, higher education, and libraries, contributors describe the challenges they encountered and offer solutions to help ensure the safekeeping of students’ online lives. How do we navigate these online environments, who collects our data, and how can we protect our most vulnerable populations?
