Purpose
The purpose of my ePortfolio is to provide me a platform to showcase my learning and growth that has
occurred over the span of my MET (Masters of Educational Technology) program. This ePortfolio will
enable me to present my knowledge of the courses and concepts in the 9 MET classes and highlight the
connections between learning, theory and practice through the artifacts shared. The process of creating
and maintaining an ePortfolio is an important step in the learning process as a professional, but also a way
to give back to the educational community by sharing my experiences in hopes to aid others in their
learning.
Objective:
To demonstrate understanding of the ties between educational theory and practice throughout the
MET program
Demonstrates depth of knowledge through reflections
Meets TQS and MET 590 course requirements
Review and update my philosophy of teaching and learning
Audience:
The primary intended audience for my ePortfolio are educators. I feel that the artifacts and
reflections would be of most interest to education learning about educational technology or simply
interested in the theory and course work of MET grads studied. I would also like this portfolio to have a
professional feel and view for prospective employers. As an Primary Years Program (PYP) teacher, I follow
the inquiry cycle in our daily learning. Teaching the PYP and teaching inquiry lessons was a great change
for me early on in my career and I sometimes view my journey through the MET program in the same
manner. Therefore I will be incorporating K
ath Murdochs model of the inquiry cycle.
References & Resources to be used (Evidence & Tools):
My ePortfolio will be created using Weebly.com. This website interface is user friendly and has
pre-loaded apps into the design dashboard, therefore I feel there are less chances or errors and uploading
or formatting issues during the process of creating the site. My current school uses this website platform, so
I am a little familiar with how it functions and adding content.
