Written Reflection

Thou doth protest too much!

  • This course has been very helpful in getting me to crack away on some of my anti-tech hangups. While I still put a lot of value on the lecture environment and intend to continue it, I do feel that I need to incorporate new tools as well as increase

Down with Teams!

  • When Covid came crashing into our lives and we had to turn to online courses, obviously everything and everyone was thrown for a loop. I had taught online courses before so I tried to lean into the structure of those courses with online discussion forums to replace our in-class

My Goals

  • I am a lecturer by nature and practice, but especially outside of just classroom time I want to give my students more diversities in the tools available to them. Not everyone can flourish in the lecture environment, and I want to find ways for those students to share their

    Comment on: You’ve discovered that your institution is interested in adopting a new technology tool for facilitating online classroom discussion and considering “requiring” all classes that have some kind of online component to use it, so that students only need to learn one thing. What kind of research would you do to inform yourself about this decision? How do you think you would respond and advocate for your position?

Stop Five: Exploring Your Portfolio

This page is your personal workspace in Design Forward. Whenever you complete an activity in a module, it will be posted here. In addition, you can add portfolio items at any time. At the bottom of the page, you will see a gray bar with options to add images, files, videos, text reflections, or workbook pages. 

On the right, you will see your most recent comments and annotations as well as any questions you’ve asked. 

Your portfolio lives outside of any individual module — it is available across your entire Design Forward experience. If you click on the Participants link  you will be able to see everyone else participating in a module and visit their portfolios. They can visit yours as well. 

Take some time to explore the options in your portfolio; you don’t need to add anything at this time. When you’re done click the “Back to the Map” button.

At the end of this stop in the Orientation journey, you will have 

  • Understand how content is added to your portfolio
  • Learned that your portfolio is available across all the DF modules you participate in.
