Moral Philosophy in Education Course Reflection
This course was most excellent. It has always been tough for me to have difficult conversations with people who firmly oppose my stance on a moral dilemma. This course gave me the tools needed to logically organize my thoughts, perspectives and stance on any moral dilemma. Using the lenses of justice, care, profession and critique, a well rounded analysis of a dilemma can be performed. This is a great exercise for any person or organization that may need to solve a dilemma due to the turbulence the dilemma has caused.
The second great thing I gleaned from the course was the ability to prioritize moral dilemmas based on turbulence theory. The more turbulent the dilemma, the higher the priority for the organization to solve. This tool is also a great way for an organization to use when deciding where to allocate the finite resources they have. The process is logical and can be extrapolated to any organization given any moral dilemma.
Lastly, the organization of the course was excellent in that it pushed the envelope of using current technology tools available to the JSC community. Using the One Note Online through the Office 365 system, the class was able to all collaborate and discuss journals. This was a great advancement upon technology use compared to other courses I have taken at JSC. I would suggest pushing this tool forward and utilizing it for future courses. The exposure for students to these new types of tools are an invaluable skill that can be carried with them past their studies at JSC.

ReplyDeleteNice comments. I was very impressed with your case: You turned an intellectual assignment into an action research/activist project. Very exciting.
And, thank you for your continued guidance and enthusiasm for 365. I quite enjoyed the Forum and have some ideas for improvement.
