Representation Matters.

Hello Readers! In the past couple of weeks, in addition to being amidst a pandemic, the world has also been amidst a revolution . Protests around the world have called for change after the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd at the hands of the police. I have only seen things like this in the movies; Thousands of people gathering to protest, blocking traffic, risking their freedom for the justice of others. They have encouraged lots of change, too-  Laws have been passed to ban no-knock warrants (you can read about this here, an article about banning no knock warrants ) , confederate statues are being removed, Minnesota even has plans to reform their WHOLE police department (an article on that  here, an article about Minnesota police reform  ) .  With all this being said, I want to connect the current civil rights movement (it is a movement- every continent has held protests for Black Lives Matter) to something I am passionate about, ...

The Teacher-Apple Dynamic

Hello Readers! As you may already be able to tell by the Apple- covered backgrounds of my blog and my choice of blog topics, this is a teacher- related blog. I have used the Apple. a widely known symbol to represent teaching, in a variety of different places on this website. This has got me thinking, though, Where did the whole Teacher- Apple thing come from? I have associated the Apple with teaching for as long as I can remember, and have even seen it played out on cartoons and TV shows where a student gifts a teacher an apple and they keep it on their desk. When did Apples start being associated with teaching? My guess: Before I look for an present the answers that I have found, I will write my one of my guesses as to why Apples have been associated with teaching, and we can see if I was close!  Even though I am not a teacher yet, I have seen the color red  being associated with those in the profession. For example, the initiative: "Red for Ed" , I've heard about this t...

Welcome to Desktop Diaries!

     Hello Readers!   WELCOME to my Blog, DESKTOP DIARIES !  Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Kanya Edmonds and I am from Virginia Beach, VA. I was born and raised here, and I love living in the "country" here in VA , as my family members in Washington D.C.  may refer to it, much to the opposition of myself and I'm sure other Virginians, although... they may have a point. Currently, I attend Old Dominion University, and have just finished my first ever year in college this past month. I am double majoring in English and Spanish with a concentration in teacher preparation. You may be wondering: "Why, Kanya , are you majoring in two different language fields?" The answer is because I want to become an English teacher, specifically, an ESL teacher. I will go into more detail about that later. For now, though, I want to talk about this blog and why it exists! Why "Desktop Diaries" was created     I created this blog as an assignment f...
