Auckland - Final Paper: Elders

There are too many memories and places I visited in New Zealand to select favourites but Auckland was definitely a highlight of my New Zealand tour.   Auckland continues to be a favourite memory due to the people I met there.  And likewise, the CoP in this course was a definite highlight as there were so many engaging discussions and weblog posts that it was hard to decide what to include.  So, I decided to post only one artifact – my culminating final paper.  All of my weblog research was centered around my final paper topic so I felt it was appropriate to only include my final paper as it would include research from my Weblog research.   This paper highlights further improvement in my academic writing skills.  The recent feedback I received in 532: Technology in the Arts & Humanities classroom and in my face-to-face course EDCP 585D Historical Thinking along with prior feedback from other courses has been very influential in the editing of this final version of my paper.  The importance of feedback again supports Social Learning Theorists like Vygotsky & Bruner who contend that feedback is key to learning (Miller, 2002).
