WICKED PROBLEM SOLVING PROJECT
COLLABORATION: Wicked problems exist within many professions. These problems tend to unveil other problems in the pursuit of making meaning and moving toward possible solutions. In a collaborative setting, my team chose to: “Rethink what it means to teach, and reinvent everything about teaching.” We used the Danielson Group’s Framework for Teaching to aid in our exploration of what it means to teach. We published our findings to encourage others to reinvent teaching.
COLLECTING THE DAY'S THOUGHTS
COLLABORATION: Tweet! Feeds! Blog! Hashtag! Prior to my MAET studies I hesitated joining social media. However, I now recognize the importance of connecting with educators that hold similar interests, as well as educators that will push my thinking in new directions. Staying connected is also important as it keeps me knowledgeable of current issues and innovations. This Storify post is just one example of what I believe it means to pursue connected learning.
ASSISSTIVE TECHNOLOGY WEBINAR
COLLABORATION: “If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.”
– Ignacio Estrada
It was a feeling of accomplishment to see this project through to fruition. TEAMMAET 3.5 arranged a webinar that provided insights, tips and ideas on technology to assist learning, especially through Universal Design for Learning (UDL). It was a not-to-miss discussion with leaders in the field of assistive technology and UDL.
TEAMMAET3.5 POSTER
COLLABORATION: “Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.” – Ryunosuke Satoro
How blessed I was to find myself a member of TEAMMAET 3.5! On the very first day we created our poster that is filled with DRIVE! My teammates made the summer cohort experience that much better; they stretched my ideas. A huge reason for my growth is our interactions and discussions around teaching and learning.
