The Long Island University Graduate School of Educational Technology,
awards between 50 and 75 Masters of Science degrees each year. The graduate
T.E.A.M. (Technology,
Education And Multi-media) program relies heavily on collaborative
teaching methods to teach collaborative teaching methodology. I occasionally
refer to the LIU program (unofficially) as the Center for Applied
Research in Collaborative Project Based Learning. The entire
T.E.A.M.. program is much about
collaborative learning. In nearly every aspect of the program, the power
of collaborative learning is exploited. As a result of this project-based
and constructivist learning environment, over the years, these graduate
students have created a repository of marvelous web-based educational
resources. The best of these projects have taken their place in the Electronic
Educational Village alongside other outstanding village members consisting
of guest speakers, educational fairs, cultural celebrations, exhibits,
audios, videos, streaming radio and many other events - all technological,
all educational and all exceptional. These graduate students' projects
live as a legacy to the EEV and as a testament that we are life long learners
- and life long teachers. As Dr. Bette Scheiderman, co-chairperson of the LIU Graduate School of
Educational Technology, likes to say to all village visitors: "
. . . step inside the EEV space, enjoy and take from it whatever you like." |
