EDCI 8321 Video Session One

We had a very interesting and I believe an exceptional session. I hope that if you didn't join us this week, you can join us next week on Thursday, June 4th at 6:00 p.m. I'll be sending the announcement via email in a little bit.
If you didn't attend you should watch the whole video in its entirety. There are several explanations regarding the Critique and the method of submission. We also talk about the structure of the course, the video sessions, and the expectations.
The video usually doesn't show up in the email, but it is available on Blackboard and on the course blog.

The Class Structure - Video Clip

Are you wondering how this class will go this semester. Well just check out this video clip... You'll get an idea about my philosophy of teaching. Although the focus is on adult learning, I think this approach works also with K-16 students.

Unfortunately, the world of academia isn't made up of those who think this way. You may not feel the need to accept it and...you don't need to. My feeling is that the more I hear from my students the more we all learn. Hey, I want to learn to and what better way than to have ALL of us teach other.

Check out the video below and write some comments on the comment box below. By the way you can set up this blog so that any new posts are automatically sent to you. I'll give you the "how" in another video.

Well enjoy and add comments....
