Throughout my life I've faced a lot of adversary to get to where I am, I struggled with poverty and constant negativity towards my success from family. I originally chose to pursue the Digital Learning & Leading at Lamar because I figured I could learn more about technology, prove the naysayers wrong, and then upon completion get paid more. However, now that I've started the program I have a bit different perspective over my 'why'. The introduction of growth mindset and the COVA approach are two things that helped shift my views, not only did they allow me to see how to accomplish things that I felt were out of my grasp, I felt like a kid again as my imagination and creativity were able to flow as I created my masterpiece.
The final assignment of the first course in the DLL program is creating the main structure for an E-portfolio. The website I have built is something that utilizes the COVA principles: Choice, Ownership, Voice, & Authenticity. I not only got to choose how to present my material, I have ownership over my creations, my opinions and thoughts are voiced throughout, and lastly it's truly authentic for the fact that it uses my learning methods to both teach me and demonstrate my knowledge at the same time.
