My ETEC Portfolio

Master Program E-portfolio

The development of this portfolio has been very much like an adventure!

My core courses showed me the way to academic accuracy. The electives directed me towards technological ventures and artistic exploration.

This e-portfolio is a culmination of my scholarly voyage. The master program has motivated me to innovate in the field of pedagogy and has instigated profound changes in the way I use technology. This educational adventure has helped me shape my philosophy, which can be summarize as: “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“.

My goal has been to present what I discovered and achieved during this master program in a multimodal fashion. I hope that my research papers, multimedia creations, reflections and films will provide interested educators with an exciting educational adventure!

Reviews:

Here are the peer reviews for my e-portfolio:

  • Review initial 1
  • Guidelines of my peer reviewers I
  • Review I CD ep
  • Review I CD 2 ep
  • Review II CD ep
    • After carefully considering the peer reviews at this point, I decided to make some adjustments to my e-portfolio:
      • I modified the guided tour by adding some written clarifications.
      • I simplified the ETEC 590 / Met e-porfolio section, for easier access.
      • Reflections are now hosted in the MET course section and easily found under selected artifacts.
      • Typos have been corrected.
      • A transcription of my guided tour has been added under the screen cast, to provide an additional tool.
      • This review has encouraged me to continue looking at the e-portfolio as an adventure!
  • Review II 2
    • Reflections on this review lead to these adjustments:
      • Added a link to the MET home page /official course descriptions.
      • Emphasized the categories option (connecting the topics studied). 
      • Placed the MET courses page first and the Artifacts page after.
        • After pondering this decision, I decided against it. It is my belief that prospective employers will be mainly interested in my artifacts. They might have a closer look at the courses’  page if they feel the need to validate their selection process.
  • review II 3
    • “Gold star e-portfolio!
      • There is no doubt that you have become a master of educational technology”.
    • I like that!
  • Review III-1
    • I am particularly proud of these comments:
      • Use of film makes the project more interesting to navigate.
      • It is visually engaging and accompanied well by audio.
  • Review III 2  
    • I am particularly proud of these comments:
      • I believe that the video tour should be short yet informative which I feel you have accomplished.
      • A video tour that reiterates everything that is contained within the pages of the eP would be overwhelming and redundant.
      • I think that your video tour touches sufficiently on the above criteria by directing the viewer to each page where the criteria are further developed.
      • Your video tour gave me a better sense of the organization of your site, and (importantly) kept my attention by keeping it under 5 minutes.
      • eP is very comprehensive and thorough.
      • I am anointing you are the queen of reflection!
  • Reflecting on my reviews
  • More reflections:
    • Thanks to my instructor’s thorough reviews:
    • I converted my papers (in artifacts section) from ”doc” files to “pdf” files, in order to faciltate access to original work. I also added pdf files in this section to see my initial proposal and my assessment rubric more easily.
    • The comments inspired me to confirm some choices that I had initially made regarding the audience and the purpose. It is now clearer than ever that my e-portfolio is a document that should appeal to professionals and prospective employers.
    • Much thought has been given to the presentation in order to optimize clarity & professionalism.
  • Thinking… about my reflections!:
    • They come in the form of written comments to selected artifacts.
    • They can be heard by clicking on the audio files in the MET courses section.
    • For more than a year now, I have collected the most relevant academic reflections from the courses I have undertaken. They are found in the posts hosted under each course category.
    • My films are audio visual comments of my experience and practice as I was using and applying the knowledge acquired in the MET.
    • Introductions to various artifacts, pages, films, as well as my “about me” tab, provide a variety of reflections regarding my e-portfolio adventure.
    • Finally, this post, hosted in the ETEC 590 course category (to be consistent), also harbors some of my reflections about the review process.
    • An adventure is has been… and the journey continues!
  • Instructor’s final feedback:

Peer reviews I made for other students’ e-portfolios:

  • I have also written and shared many reflections about my ETEC 590 community of practice members’ personal e-portfolios.
  • For privacy reasons I did not include the peer reviews that I wrote for other students on this website.
