Master of Arts in Educational Technology
Below are all of the courses that I have taken to complete the MAET degree starting from Fall 2018 to Fall 2020. Most courses were taken online with three of the courses completed in an accelerated structure through the MAET overseas program in Galway, Ireland (Summer 2019). MAET students must complete 30 credits to earn the Master of Arts in Educational Technology degree from Michigan State University.

Fall 2018
CEP 810: Teaching for Understanding with TechnologyInstructor: Kimberly PowellCEP 810 focuses on five foundational concepts - theories of learning, mindsets for teaching with technology, professional learning networks (PLNs), the TPACK framework (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) and how to use technology creatively for for instruction. In this course I familiarized myself with a variety of new tools and began using Wordpress as a means of sharing work electronically with instructors throughout the entirety of the MAET program.

CEP 811: Adapting Innovative Technologies in Education
|
CEP 812: Applying Educational Technology to Issues of PracticeInstructor: Doug FrankishThere are a variety of education-related problems with no true solution in the world. I really enjoyed working collaboratively within think tanks to investigate these "wicked problems" and propose possible means to lessen these unsolvable problems. In addition, I reflected on my current information diet and examined human dispositions to see what might limit people from solving big problems.

MI 830: Foundations of Serious Games
Instructor: Carrie HeeterStudents in MI 830 learn the difference between games and "serious games". Serious games have an intended purpose for their audience so participants in this course practice applying this idea with multiple assignments by repurposing games we know and love to creating new games featuring specific mechanics that make players think and reflect on their actions. The final project for this course was a collaborative project where I partnered with another student to create our own serious game with simulations by real life participants and a potential plan for marketing the idea in the future.

Summer 2019 - Galway Overseas Cohort
CEP 800: Learning in School and Other SettingsInstructor: Liz Boltz & Sean SweeneyStudents in CEP 800 at the Overseas Galway cohort focused heavily on major concepts found in various learning theories, put them to practice within various tasks, and examined the affordances and constraints of each learning theory in a variety of learning contexts. Students also took a closer look at their own school to compare and contrast the values, ideas, and programs between themselves and other classmates.

Fall 2019
CEP 813: Electronic Assessment for Teaching and LearningInstructor: William Bork |
Students in CEP 813 revisit foundational ideas of assessment and make a deep dive into each one to gain a deeper understanding of what each idea represents and how it can be implemented in their own teaching. Major projects in this course include the reiteration of a formative assessment and summative assessment in addition to closer looks at ideas such as rubrics, self-reflection, and assessment design.

Fall 2020
CEP 816: Technology, Teaching, and Learning Across the CurriculumInstructor: Liz BoltzStudents investigate new media texts and technology (NMTT) through course readings, discussion forums, and by evaluating some NMTT that might be present in their teaching or day-to-day activities. One of the major assessments in this course is the NMTT Dream Project where students select a unit from their own teaching and thoughtfully incorporate NMTT to hit the "sweet spot" found in the TPACK (Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge) framework. |
