My most recent class for the MSU ed tech program, CEP811, has helped me evolve my practice in higher ed IT leadership at warp speed. I’m driving my team crazy now, because I just can’t help bringing principles of design, maker education, and 21st century learning into everything we do in IT.
Staff meetings have become project-based learning, classroom equipment upgrades have become design projects, and our eLearning programs are getting a healthy dose of maker-inspired support from IT. It isn’t the technology practice that’s made such a difference to me: it’s the solid underpinning in theories of learning. A the same time, CEP811 has helped bring “play” back into my work. I’ve summed up a few of our projects in a goofy montage, reminiscent of our first class project on remixing.
