JCU Department of Education & Allied Studies |
The mission of The
Department of Education and Allied Studies is to provide educational
leadership for a more just society. To achieve that
end, the unit embodies four goals: to provide professional education in a
liberal arts context; to uphold traditional values, yet be responsive and
sensitive to society’s changing needs; to focus on personal as well as
professional development of the individual; and to emphasize teaching that is
anchored in a strong research base and the Jesuit ideal of an educator. The five characteristics of the Jesuit
ideal of an educator are: q
Formation of the total person q
Integration of the disciplines q
Personal influence of the educator q
Education as a vocation q
Educational settings as communities of personal
influence |

WebLog – Working in the ED586 Blog environment
produce a weblog (on-line journal) to demonstrate your preparation for class
and your engagement with course events including assigned readings, films and
invited speakers. In some instances, but not in every instance, I will
present questions or queries to guide your blogs. Introductory VideoLog Query For this assignment, you are to produce a three (3) minute video
addressing a series of questions. This I Believe -- Technology edition Drawing inspiration
from the This I Believe
project sponsored by National Public Radio, the intention of this project is
for you to define a personal philosophy of technology. HomePage
Design and publish a home page for your classroom
including a portfolio of student work and your professional pages. A WebQuest
is an
inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners
is drawn from the Web. WebQuests are designed to use learners’ time well, to
focus on using information rather than looking for it, and to support
learners’ thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. |

Grading System Students are evaluated
by their retention of substantial information, insight regarding the
significance of this information, ability to apply it to new situations, and
ability to communicate the knowledge assimilated. In each assignment,
I am looking for evidence of thoughtful engagement and reflection on course
readings, lectures, workshops and discussions. I cannot stress enough the
significance of giving credit where credit is due -- ALWAYS.
Attendance Attendance at every
class is required. In the event that you are unable to attend class for a
substantive reason, please contact me PRIOR to that class to arrange an excused
absence. A pattern of unexcused absences will result in a pattern of reduced
FINAL grades. (One grade for each unexcused absence, i.e. from A to B) Policies on Grading All assignments are
required. I encourage you to discuss your assignments and your grades with me
while the course is in progress. Honesty Students are
expected to cite any resources that they use in the construction of any
turned-in work. Print sources as well as electronic media must be cited. Any
work submitted for evaluation must either be original work or cited work. Plagiarism is
absolutely unacceptable. Late Assignments Submitting
assignments after the assigned due date will reduce the grade for that
assignment by one letter (i.e. from A to B). However, prior to due dates
alternative arrangements can be made for late submissions. A final grade of
"I" (incomplete) may be awarded upon request and pending approval. |
