You have a lot of great credentials and experiences (both work-related and course-related) that would directly qualify you for the teaching job that you want.
You did a very good job presenting. You spoke at a good pace and with clarity. There is still some room for improvement in your voice projection, however.
This blog is full of applicable, useful information. Everything contained in your blog really adds a lot, not only to the blog itself, but to your professional image. The one suggestion I have would be to reorder the postings so that your bio is first and that the slides, lesson plans, and general information about you follow.
I really think it was a good idea to include the lesson plans that you created in your blog. In your resume, it would be helpful to include a brief description of what your position was in the "Holocaust Resource Center." I also did notice some minor spelling and grammar errors here and there so I would suggest re-looking over and proofreading your blog.
Overall, the materials presented on your blog provide an excellent overview of your qualifications for a future job in education. The way these materials are organized can be improved upon.
Laura,
Your blog was well thought out. I think that your class that you have taken should be on your resume not its own post. Also when you go on an interview do not forget to show your resume I know it is a completely different environment in the classroom then when you are having an interview I just do not want to forget. When you were speaking everything was good, rate, pace, pronunciation, and enthusiasm. Just I think you need to work on you volume to me it was a little soft.
