This portion of my blog serves the purpose of documenting my engagement, understanding and learning in my EDCI 414 course in relation to the course goals.
This blog is my chosen format for my Portfolio of Learning where I will collect evidence of my engagement with each course goal.
The 9 course goals are:
- Develop a personal approach to teaching social studies

- Outline the process of inquiry learning in Social Studies
