Sue M’s UBC MET E-Portfolio

Hello There & Welcome!

I’m Sue Morrison, and ETEC565 is the final course I’ll be completing in the MET (Master of Educational Technology), here at UBC.

Within this Web-Blog, I will be including two broad components:

1. An e-portfolio of ETEC565 course assignments
2. Series of personal reflections, including specific components of the course

According to UBC:

• “Folio thinking” promotes self-awareness, motivation, and direction and provides invaluable support to individuals in academic, professional, and social settings…

According to Gary Greenberg:

• “An important benefit of ongoing ePortfolio participation is the opportunity to maintain connections with peers and mentors throughout one’s professional career…”

According to Educase:

• The benefits of an e-portfolio typically derive from the exchange of ideas and feedback between the author and those who view and interact with the e-portfolio. In addition, the author’s personal reflection on the work inside an e-portfolio helps create a meaningful learning experience.

Accordingly, my personalized online collection of digitized artifacts, should help represent my personal knowledge, skills and interests in the field of Educational Technology:

• Via materials such as presentations, reports, multimedia, course sites, etc., I anticipate these will provide an important record of my work that will be a useful reference
• Hopefully, by adding my personal thoughts and written reflections about pieces included, this will invite feedback from others, and should provide a way to reflect on what I’ve accomplished and how my perspectives have grown/changed over the course of the MET program!

Looking forward to this project!
First Musings…
