Digital Portfolio Reflection
In order to really reflect on this term I need to look back at the first term. I really did not know what to expect on day one but soon realized that this particular course was right up my alley. Having come from a strong technology based background I just knew this was going to be fun. Our exploration of new and emerging Web 2.0 tools I found to be extremely interesting.
Web 2.0 tools have definitely become part of my everyday life. For the most part everything has been for the greater good. I enjoy learning new tools to use, which usually comes with help from my fellow classmates and my instructor, Jonan Donaldson. The biggest impact Web 2.0 has had on my life is the building of this web site. My experience with multimedia I believe is above average and I do enjoy portraying those skills within this web site.
I would have to say at this point my true enjoyment in this course was reviewing all of my classmate’s web sites. I have to admit that looking at what my fellow adult learners were doing with the Web 2.0 tools was very inspiring. I can only add that whatever the future holds for me and my fellow adult learners will be spectacular.
One of the most important aspects of the portfolio creation process was the emphasis on personal reflection. As I prepared each artifact for inclusion in the portfolio, I reflected on the process of implementation as well as the effect the artifact had on my learning and professional development. In a broader sense, I reflected on the past, present, and future status in the education process.
While this reflection was a requirement of the Instructional Technology program, I saw the value of the process as I worked through the past term. My greatest inspiration for continued reflection was from my fellow adult learners: as I observed their increased enthusiasm and awareness of their own learning, I was inspired to personally develop a more reflective view of my learning and professional development.
