DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to Team Linnihan, who has supported me through every step of my journeyboth teaching and writing. To my husband, Patrick, whose dreams know no limits. He inspires confidence when I need moral support and always helps me see the big picture. To my children, Madison and Sean, whose creativity are so far out of the box that they never knew there was a box. To my children, Ryan and Michael, who continue to push me to learn and grow with the times, challenging me and helping me learn anything related to technology. To my dogs, who missed more than just a couple of walks throughout the course of this journey but faithfully slept at my feet through it all. To my students, who sparked the light. To my father, Richard Schmitz, who did not live to see the book in print, but continues to live on in my heart.

Ellen I. Linnihan is a secondary English and public speaking teacher in the Elmbrook School District in Brookfield, Wisconsin. She is also an adjunct faculty member for the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Cooperative Academic Partnership Program (CAPP). Linnihan began her career teaching in Department of Defense schools in Kentucky and California. While raising four children, she spent ten years as a freelance writer for educational publishing companies. She has been cultivating an archive of teaching videos since 2015 and is a strong advocate of including all learners in her classroom, whether they are face-to-face, remote, or hybrid learners.

Linnihan earned her National Board Certification for teaching secondary English in 2018. It was this experience that ignited a passion for sharing her ideas about creating a video archive to better serve her students. In addition to teaching, Linnihan is the program coordinator for the Distinguished Young Women of Brookfield scholarship program, a national program that develops and recognizes academic achievement, talent, and leadership in young women. She credits this program for launching her in a positive direction in life when she was a high school participant. In 2020, she was selected as one of the most influential educators for the Elmbrook School District.

Linnihan earned her bachelors degree in English and history from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She furthered her studies at Austin Peay State University with a masters degree in education (curriculum and instruction) and a masters degree in English.

My inspiration to create a video archive was born of necessity. As a lifelong lover of word games and puzzles, I tend to look at life with the goal of a satisfying win. Like a puzzle with the picture on the cover, I have a vision for what my students should accomplish while in my classroom. Anything short of this feels like a puzzle with missing pieces. While students dont always fully complete the puzzle in my class, I do my best to ensure that they have the pieces they need to do so. At one point I realized that the students sitting in my classroom had all the pieces, but that students who were absent did not. This inspired me to begin building a video archive.
