Welcome to EDST 20000 The History and Philosophy of Education. This course is a hybrid course which means we will meet face-to-face on campus 1/4 of the time and we will meet online 3/4 of the time. The course syllabus will provide you with the dates we will be meeting in class and online. August 24th is when our first class will meet. We will meet on campus in the technology building room 214 at 1:00 p.m. Please demonstrate professionalism and arrive a little early (no more than 15 minutes) or by 1:00 p.m. I will be in the room at 12:45 p.m. Bring a copy of the syllabus and curriculum map to class with you. You can find this on the blog under course tools.
This blog will be used as a learning tool to respond to course content and material, to take polls and collect data, and to provide you with information concerning the course. The purpose of the blog is to conduct class online and to extend the learning and discussions that occur in the classroom.
As part of your course assignments you will be required to thoughfully respond to the posts throughout the semester. Since this is a place where information is published please use correct grammar and spelling.
To get you started here is the first blog post for you to respond to: Introduce yourself and share the HISTORY of your name. How did you get your name? Are you named after someone? Is there any special meaning to your name. This can include first, middle or last name...or any combination. How do you feel about your name? Do you have any nicknames, etc.?
