Project #1- Learning Philosophy and Video
Grade: 100% (A)
Explanation:
The purpose of this assignment was to reflect on our learning philosophy and think about how it has changed or evolved over the course. In addition to writing a philosophy statement we were challenged to encapsulate our ideas into a video
The philosophy itself was intended to address the following questions specifically:
How do you now define learning?
How do you now define teaching?
How has your philosophy changed (or not) or been refined since the start of the course?
How does learning happen?
What roles should the teacher and student play in this new ecology of learning?
How do you know when learning takes place? Are there any visible indicators or signs to demonstrate that the student has learned anything?
What is the role of technology in your learning philosophy? Provide an example of how you plan to implement it in the future.

This was a very exciting revelation and something that was familiar to me because of my time that I spent in early childhood education. I
It was also during this time that I started to accept the unique ways that tech could really make an impact on learning for all learners but specifically those who sought out non-traditional learning environments.
