  • The categories: 
    • During my MET experience, I collected my best academic reflections from the courses undertaken. These discussions present what I have learned from various perspectives. They demonstrate that “teaching with technology should advance the development of knowledge, rooted in the principles of the charter of human rights, and consider economical and political perspectives as well as the environment“. They are found in the posts hosted under each course category (see: right side bar).
  • Discussing my journey:
    • Please click on ETEC 590 (last category: right side bar) if you are interested in reading the reflections I collected during this e-portfolio’s review process.
    • For my final considerations (including a review of my selected artifacts) , please click on this pdf file: guided tour final considerations.

The audience

This e-portfolio has been created for educators, whether they are fellow master students, instructors or prospective employers in educational institutions. I also intend to use it myself to access all the research I have done in the master program. Furthermore, it provides a model when I teach my students to create their own portfolios.

The purpose

My focus during the whole program has been to explore and develop my understanding of active learning and media literacy. As a media teacher, specialized in digital film communication, I realized that my experience in using moviemaking as an educational tool was somewhat distinctive.

My MET studies have assisted me in improving the theoretical background necessary to ask better questions and make more informed decisions when embarking on innovative educational adventures!
