EdTech 592 - Portfolio

EdTech 592 - Portfolio has seen both stress and revelation - this is only the first three weeks. The amount of work put into the first four weeks of the course is incredible. I am so glad that both Dr. Perkins and Dr. Rice warned us in advance. It has been difficult mostly because I am still teaching until the end of June. Wouldn't you know it, a lot of the hard work will be completed by then. On the flip side, the course has been a real joy. The two assignments that I have completed so far have dealt with reflecting on all of the work I have completed over my time in the MET program. It is truly amazing all that we have accomplished. The professional growth and improvement in my educational technology skills have surpassed my expectations and I am proud to be only one course away from graduating with a Master's degree from Boise State University.

The Artifact Alignment Table that I created used to reflect upon all of our work in the program. From this table I chose different artifacts that clearly showed which artifacts demonstrate competency of the various AECT standards and indicators. The Artifact table that will be on my portfolio is shown below.
