What topic do you want to know more about that I can address in an upcoming YouTube video? Or, what specific question do you have about any of the following categories?

1. PK-12th grade literacy learning (e.g., general literacy learning, reading support, digital literacies, ESL, bilingual, etc.)
2. Bilingual and/or ESL topics relating to PK-12th grade education topics.
3. Online learning (broadly defined!) in K-12 or higher education online teaching!
