ED 870: Capstone Seminar -- Summer 2013
Instructor: Dr. Matthew Koehler (mkoehler@msu.edu), Andrea Zellner (zellnera@msu.edu), Joshua Rosenberg (jrosen@msu.edu), and William Cain (cainwil1@msu.edu)
Reflection: ED 870 has helped me to reflect on my journey through the MAED program and consider how I have changed as an educator. By developing an online portfolio, we not only have created a professional presence where others can see examples of our growth and learning, but we are able to document our own artifacts of learning. The metacognitive processes used in this effort are valuable in and of themselves, but also allow us to create a living document that reflects the best we have to share with our students.
Course Description: The Capstone Seminar is designed to engage students in discussion and reflection on their learning in the Master of Arts in Education program. Each student will create a Web-based portfolio that presents a well-organized representation of their work and thinking in the program and participate in online discussion with other students in the seminar around their developing portfolios. This website is the culminating project for ED 870.
