5200 Assignment 1 - My Pedagogic Creed

Overview
Please read John Dewey's famous 1897 essay "My Pedagogic Creed" and then create your own pedagogic creed.

Procedures
1.Read the following article.
http://dewey.pragmatism.org/creed.htm

2.Using the headings in Dewey's article, write your own pedagogic creed, making clear your opinions and beliefs around those issues. You should also state where you agree and where you disagree with Dewey more than 100 years later. Also include your thoughts on how technology links to your pedagogic creed.

3.There is no length or style expectations per se but if you create a document, a couple of pages should do it. I don’t mark for length but for ideas and thoughtfulness and your ability to communicate that.
