Creativity is of increasing importance to educators both for their professional success and that of their students particularly given the complex, evolving knowledge ecology in which we live. In this online course we explored a range of questions related to creativity. These included: What does it mean to be creative? Is creativity born or can it be learned? Does creativity reside in the individual or in the social context within which we live? What does the creative process look like? What is the relationship between creativity, play and humor? (In other words, do creative people have more fun?) Information cited from: http://edutech.msu.edu/programs/masters/courses/cep-818/

Click for an Example of My Coursework
Portfolios have a long tradition in education. In recent years the power of the portfolio concept has been amplified and extended through the creation of “electronic portfolios” that are created and shared on the Web. The premise of this course is that electronic portfolios on the Web offer teachers and students an extraordinary new medium for self-expression and for creating a nation of writers, poets, and artists who gather authentic work over time and share it with a worldwide audience.
