I am a twice-over UAB graduate (undergrad in '09 and grad school in '11), and I was recently hired as a full-time NTE Instructor in the English Department. I teach mostly composition and sophomore literature courses, and in my free time I work with high school students through various social justice programs. In all of these realms, I'm seeing an increasing importance of technology (particularly social media, but not limited to that) in how students (myself included) interact with the world.
