My MET hiking journey lasted for 3 years. By the end of the journey I acquired knowledge and skills related to educational technology, instructional design and eLearning. I also found new social connections. gained confidence, improved my problem-solving skills and learned to trust myself. ETEC 590 ePortfolio helped me to reflect on the preparation, the hikes, and the reward. It confirmed my desire to continue the educational technology and eLearning hikes. My future goals include helping organizations and educational institutions to plan, manage, develop and deliver technology-based learning.
I chose the metaphor of hiking because my learning experience looks like hiking. It includes taking different trails, going through different challenges, enjoying the process and receiving a reward at the end. Similar to hiking, the desire to try new lands and improve existing skills gets stronger after each new experience. There is no ending to this experience, many trails still need to be discovered.
This ePortfolio will help me to prepare for my new hike. Thank you for stopping by!
