Contribution to Learning 2

Courses: 
- Applying Educational Technology ePortfolio (EDLD-5303)
- Creating Significant Learning Environments (EDLD-5313)

Introduction
Over the duration of these two courses, I have actively engaged in various learning activities and collaborations, aiming to maximize my understanding and application of educational technology and the creation of significant learning environments. Based on my contributions, achievements, and areas for improvement, I have assessed my performance in the range of 80-89.

What is Working
One of the strengths I brought to these courses was my ability to provide positive and constructive feedback to my peers. This feedback was always given respectfully and promptly, facilitating a collaborative environment where all members could strive for excellence. My consistent interactions with Mia, Robin, and Marche have been particularly productive. We developed a strong synergy, sharing insights and supporting each other through various course activities.

I also took a proactive approach to engage with all course materials. This included completing all readings, watching assigned videos, and utilizing supporting resources. These resources were integral in enhancing my understanding and enabling me to contribute meaningfully to group discussions and projects.

Key Contributions
1. Constructive Feedback: I made it a priority to review my peers' work thoroughly and provide detailed feedback that was both encouraging and actionable. This not only helped my peers improve their work but also deepened my understanding of the course content.
   
2. Active Participation: I was consistently active in our group discussions and collaboration sessions. My contributions were aimed at driving the group towards innovative solutions and effective learning strategies.

3. Resource Sharing: I often found and shared additional resources that were beneficial to our learning community. This included articles, videos, and tools that complemented our coursework and provided different perspectives on the topics we were studying.

4. Timeliness: Meeting deadlines was a critical aspect of my contributions. By adhering to the course schedule, I ensured that my peers could rely on my inputs to move forward with their work without delays.

Areas for Improvement
While I have made significant contributions, there are areas where I can improve. One such area is in the depth of my reflective practices. While I consistently engaged in reflection, I believe that delving deeper into my experiences and drawing more connections between the two courses could enhance my learning.

Another area for growth is in seeking more diverse feedback. While I regularly collaborated with my core group, reaching out to a broader range of peers and instructors for feedback could provide me with new insights and perspectives.

Impact of Combining Courses
Combining reflections from EDLD-5303 and EDLD-5313 has allowed me to see the interconnectedness of educational technology and the creation of significant learning environments. By bridging concepts from both courses, I was able to apply technological tools more effectively to design impactful learning experiences. This integrated approach not only enriched my understanding but also helped me assist my peers in seeing the bigger picture and making connections across different aspects of our learning journey.
For instance, the principles learned in Creating Significant Learning Environments (EDLD-5313) were directly applicable when developing my ePortfolio in Applying Educational Technology (EDLD-5303). This synergy between the courses enabled me to create more cohesive and well-rounded projects, as reflected in the work linked above.

Conclusion
In conclusion, my self-assessment score of 85 reflects my strong contributions, consistent engagement, and areas for ongoing improvement. By continuing to build on my strengths and addressing areas for growth, I am committed to further enhancing my learning and the learning of my community. The collaborative efforts with Mia, Robin, and Marche have been invaluable, and I look forward to continuing this journey of growth and learning.
