When COVID hit, I had been teaching construction trades math for many years. I knew our “emergency remote” Zoom classes weren’t effective, but I couldn’t tell you why.
So Fall 2022, I entered the Technology, Media and Learning program, hopefully receiving an Ed.M. in Design of Learning Technologies by 2028.
Since then, I’ve learned a couple of phrases that align to my learning environment: apprenticeship traditions dating back to the guilds, and even to ancient times:
Embodied Cognition
Robert Lewis’ Framework for MSTU 5199.003
Diffusion of Innovation
Savvy Start
Multi-modalities
Andragogy
