In this online course the main focus was on applying applications of technology. After being introduced to and learning how to adapt web-based tools, this course focused on applying them to your educational practice. Specifically, we identified a problem in our class and tried to solve the problem by creating a solution that offered balance to the content, pedagogy, and technology used in the classroom. Some major assignments in this class included creating a flipped presentation on presentation tools in social studies and math classes and developing an updated progress of our professional learning plan from prior classes in the program.
Wicked Problem Project
The major assignment in this course focused on identifying an issue in the classroom that could possibly be solved through implementing a different approach in terms of technology, pedagogy, and content. For my individual project I focused on creating time in the classroom to complete effective project-based work.

Flipped Professional Development Presentation Project
In CEP 812 we continued to focus our discussion on using the flipped classroom model. We were placed in groups and asked to create a professional development presentation that outlined possible technological applications to overcome this issue.

Expanding on My Professional Learning Plan
At the end of the introductory classes of the program, the last assignment asked us to revisit our original professional learning plan from CEP 810. Since it was created a year prior, many changes had to be made due to the influence of the program.
