MAET Summer Hybrid Course
Mini Assignments
Two intense weeks of face-to-face sessions in East Lansing resulted in many great projects. While in East Lansing, we were told to form groups and give our group a name. My group called ourselves The Longtails, based on a concept used to study data that we had learned earlier in the course. Although there were some individual assignments, many of them were done as a group or we were able to have the help of our group members. Take a look at the assignments below.
Jing Introductions
Getting to know your group and Jing. For this mini assignment we were able to get to know our group members and Jing! We talked about each other and played around with Jing. We had a lot of fun- take a quick glimpse by clicking on the link below.
De-motivational Posters
WolfQuest
This assignment had many aspects to it. Our task was to find an educational software which displayed the assigned concepts of behaviorism and present it to the class. Our given behaviorism concepts were chaining and extinction. The educational software we chose was WolfQuest. We then created a powerpoint presentation which engaged the audience and displayed our chosen software. Click on the video below to watch.
Beauty Photo
This is an example of nature being re-purposed into the alphabet. We got into our groups and chose a piece a paper with a letter on it. After we had our letter we traveled to the great outdoors to find our letter in nature and take a picture of it. This was the end result.
6 different group + 6 different letters + nature = beauty

Tension Photograph
This picture of me is portraying the tension between quality (one mac) vs quantity (many computers). Prior to taking the pictures we made a list of educational tensions. Then we used ourselves and some props to display these tensions. We used Pixlr to combine 2 photos into one.
Personal Learning Network
One of our last assignments during our face to face sessions. We had to create a personal learning network, however we wanted. I chose to do mine on Glogster. I left room so that I can constantly add to it and it can grow as I grow.
