This course was a hybrid class that contained a two week intensive course in East Lansing and four weeks of independent work. Assignments that were specific to this course in the East Lansing cohort included developing 3x3x3 videos that broke down the text Why Students Don't Like School. In this assignment we created videos through multiple mediums that identified three main concepts and three practical implications in three minutes on a chapter from the text. As a class we produced videos that represented the entire class. In addition, we submitted a proposal for a possible grant that looked to implement a web-based tool to enhance the class.
Final Reflection Paper
The cohort class culminated with a reflection paper that focused on our current practice and our place within the program. Similar to the goal reflection, looking forward, and synthesis essay, this paper served as a starting point to consider these important topics.
Exploring Key Topics Wiki
In our cohort group we were assigned a topic of interest in the field of education to practice our research skills. My group fortunately was assigned Universal Design for Learning and this allowed us to look at the topic from multiple perspectives.
