My MEd – the artifacts

Curriculum and Instruction: Post-Secondary

I began my MEd journey at Simon Fraser University with 20 adult educators from different professional domains: it is a cohort/community-based program where we collaborate and also work independently through the courses simultaneously.

FINAL WORDS

I want to share Stephen King’s view on telepathy, which to me, means ‘to resonate:’

Let’s assume that you’re in your favorite receiving place just as I am in the place where I do my best transmitting. We’ll have to perform our mentalist routine not just over distance but over time as well, yet that presents no real problem; if we can still read Dickens, Shakespeare, and (with the help of a footnote or two) Herodotus, I think we can manage the gap . . . And here we go – actual telepathy in action. You’ll notice I have nothing up my sleeves and that my lips never move. Neither, most likely, do yours (2000, p. 115).

I hope that my words, presentations and projects will resonate.
