ETEC 522 - Ventures in Learning Technology
The Business of Educational Technology:
Since I am a business teacher, ETEC 522 was the first elective MET course that I enrolled as it was an area of interest for me. This course covered the basics of how to launch my own venture business, and present my ideas to an angel investor.
At this point in my life creating a business venture is not one of my goals, but this course was still valuable as it taught me much more than just business. It provided me a glimpse into the future of educational technology, and the various directions it could take and the resulting ramifications. It is this point that makes this course similar to a seismic wave as ETEC 522 created a giant burst of seismic energy which challenged my understanding of educational technology both in the present and the future.

Weekly Presentation on Cloud Learning:
The following artefact is an image from my group project on cloud learning. Each group was responsible for presenting one topic with their group and to teach the other students in the class. I found this an interesting way of having students learn from each other and I learned a great deal from my fellow students.
My group's topic was on cloud learning and through this experience I learned a great deal about cloud learning and why it is important to the future of educational technology.

Venture Pitch & Elevator Pitch
The following two artefacts were assignments that required us to create a Venture and Elevator Pitch for our fictional business. My idea was to create an LMS system that integrates social media and other engaging features.
I liked this assignment as it allowed me to practice creating videos which is a medium that I have not used a lot during my courses. This project synthesises the various ideas that were presented during the course, and allowed me to have a better understanding of how to start my own venture.
