3D Printing in the Classroom - Website
Ethics - Artifact 4
This is the final nonreactive website I created in EDTECH 502. At this point in the course I was starting to chafe against the limitations of basic html/css websites. Of course, there is a much higher ceiling than what I accomplished here but I knew there were more modern ways to build dynamic and reactive websites and was anxious to learn more about them. The content of this website is focused on the unique challenges 3D printing poses regarding intellectual property law and fair use.

Leadership - Artifact 3
This artifact is the final mini-project in the Maker Project Proposal I completed in EDTECH 538. It extends the simple circuit projects from earlier in the instructional unit by adding an Arduino program to control the circuit with software, a snippet of which is displayed below. Extending the Maker Project Proposal beyond Scratch was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed learning more about microcontrollers. Being given the latitude to explore this topic made the entire course more applicable to my current professional practice.

Simple Circuits - Maker Project Proposal
Design & Development - Artifact 3
This artifact was completed recently in EDTECH 538: Maker Tech. It is a maker project proposal that expanded into an almost full-fledged instructional design. I really enjoyed learning more about the Arduino platform and leaned into that with this proposal. The proposal would help an instructor introduce simple circuits and Ohm’s Law to secondary or adult learners through a series of mini projects using the Arduino microcontroller. I like to think the first three artifacts in this portfolio show a progression in learning and efficiency in developing instructional designs as I progressed through the program.
