Anterior Cruciate Ligaments
By Alexis Jenkins

Alexis Jenkins definitely is very active from the start. Sports have always been her passion; growing up, you could always catch her outside at the softball field playing with her high school, tournament team, or family. This all was until she had an almost career-ending injury occur not just once but twice. Luckily, she could continue to play two years of college softball, but she always wondered why tearing your ACL, also known as your Anterior Cruciate Ligament, was such a big deal. Now years later, she is a Senior here at Millersville studying Sports Journalism. After graduation, she plans to work her way into the ESPN world to eventually become an ESPN Broadcast Journalist.
Videos for a Flipped Classroom and Supplemental Learning
Kaitlin Costanza

Kaitlin Costanza is a senior (by credit) Secondary Education in Mathematics major with an International Studies minor. She plans on teaching middle school math​, ​although she will be certified to teach math ​in​ grades 7 through 12. This honors thesis project began with her interest in utilizing technology inside and outside of the classroom and aiming to create opportunities for all students to succeed. At first, she wanted to look into different online software and compare them, but that turned into investigating videos for a flipped classroom in comparison to videos used for supplemental instruction. Her project involves collaborating with current secondary mathematics teachers in the region to share their perceptions about both teaching methods. As a future teacher, this thesis guides her to find what applications and software she might want to use in her classroom. Also, the teachers’ opinions and feedback help her to be more knowledgeable about the skills and decisions that teachers navigate daily. She has learned a lot throughout this process and is thankful for the experience of completing and publishing her Honors College Thesis.
