Yongbo's Annotated Transcript
This hybird summer cohort includes three courses focusing on learning technology and figuring out what to do with the knowldege of specific technologies to help teaching and learning. In the six-week hybird (2 weeks on-compus, 4 weeks online) learning, we learned to use technology in meaningful ways. Through the book, Why Don't Students like School (by Daniel T. Willingham), we lerant how to understand and help students to learn and develop professinonally via technology.
In this course, we investigated the process of design particularly as it applied to educational technology. The course is structured around multiple design activities and a BK project. Topics covered include learning by design, human computer interaction, art and aesthetics of design, iterative design, design evaluation, and collaboration in design.

In this online course, we explored 8 modules related to creativity via the book, Spark of Genius: The 13 Thinking tools of what World's Most Creative People. These 13 thinking tools were combined to 7 key trans-displinary cognitive tools that encapsulate how creativity was applied across a range of domains and the way that creativity can be learned and taught in education.

This is a course about teaching students online. It is designed to meet the needs of a broad range of educational professionals who would like to think deeply about the ways that students can learn on the Internet. It is also designed to help teachers create an online learning environment. I created a website for learning Chinese online via Moodle.
In this course, we learned theories of mediated interaction including communication, learning, health, global and local development, and social justice to inform the design of social systems, games, and media products.

​In this course, we learned the rationales, principles, processes and pedagogies for serious game design as well as applications of serious game genres and simulations. We did several game labs of developing serious games and developed a board game as the final project.

The final project, a educational board game to learn Chinese culture
A final evaluation course requires students to finish an online portfolio summarizing their work in the MAET program and present this work in a group setting.
Via the portfolio I created, I demostrate my competence in using technology to support teaching and education.
CEP introduced five fundational topics that were essential for advanced study, including: theories of learning and understanding, midsets for teaching with technology, persoanl/professional learning network (PLN), networked learning, TPACK framework. After this course, we are quipped to use a wider range of technologies in thoughtful ways.
