Here is a DRAFT of my hypermediated Teaching Philosophy Portfolio. Based on the chapter provided by Dr. Rice, I re-envisioned my teaching philosophy to incorporate a hyperlinked portfolio approach. There is still much writing to be done on the "theoretical underpinnings" sections so I just left my very rough notes. While this is incomplete, I decided to post the draft to get feedback on the format and work so far.
(The hyperlinks in the document work on the PDF but don't appear to work on the PDF viewer for the blog. Regardless, hopefully you can get the idea -- :-) If you are very ambitious and interested, I believe you can download the document to get the links to work correctly.)

Casey,
ReplyDeleteI really like the direction you took with your philosophy statement. The organization makes sense and makes it easy to review the content and focus on sections the reader is interested in.
I like your content and I think adding the theoretical underpinnings is an excellent idea. I also like the examples you added at the end. I think in a traditional document it might make the document too long, but with your format choice I think it is a great idea.
Matt
Casey great content and insightful view. The only feedback I really have is to see if you can break up your description of each key value into more than one paragraph. It's just easier on the eyes. I'm assuming that the following pages are the pages that the hyperlinks would take people to? If so then I don't think it's too long.
ReplyDeleteSome quick notes if you have time to include them into your draft due in a few days:
ReplyDelete- perhaps another sentence to begin your philosophy situating who you are or what you teach
- I like your idea about relevant and practical information
- for consistency, might make sense to use the same sort of construction with each contextual reflection/introduction to each of your three jump-off points
- while it's impossible to predict every problem students may have, a focused yet flexible approach can help many many students' needs
- really glad that the website I showed that formats the philosophy in this way makes good sense to you; this works here as a useful presentation
- knowledge is meaningless unless personally applied
- give examples of gaps bridged
- regardless of what we're teaching, we're teaching students to be rhetorical thinkers (to apply whatever knowledge in whichever contexts as best appropriate)
- are there additional rhetors which could support your claims?
- good inclusion of the sample lesson plans
- make the graphics of the faces all the same size
Casey - I can't seem to access the links, but I really like the overall appearance of the site. I tried to provide a similar sense of organization using three bullet points, but I like how you made yours more like the example page Dr. Rice provided. I especially like your articulation of "Expansion of Worldview." I love that you are showing respect, but also challenging students to think critically and interact with each other. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm looking forward to reviewing your teaching philosophy essay and offering you comments via email. You'll receive notes from me soon.
