Ken Wilber’s QuadrantsKen Wilber’s first book, The Spectrum of Consciousness, emphasized the layered stages of individual development, and the worldview of each (issues, problem-solving approaches, etc.). Through a series of subsequent books, Wilber pursued specific emphases of these worldviews and the relationship between them. Then, after intense study of over a hundred different hierarchies of

Session 10: Wrap-up of this courseEtec 623 covers variety of topics which range from Management and Leadership through Professional Development. I realized that I am more technological literacy now in my educational field than I was when I started this course. These topics forced me to think, analyze, use, manage, assess, and understand the advantages and limitations of educational technologies

Session 9: Professional DevelopmentThis week pod cast is about the professional development. It includes many elements of why, reason for, purpose, the need, effective, following-up, and more about training.

Session 8: Data-Driven Decision-MakingAs I understand from this week podcast, data-driven decision-making is a method to collect useful data to evaluate, decide to follow, or to implement a set of goals or to settle in making an important decision. In educational field, data-driven decision making has become a school-reform mantra that is celebrated but widely misunderstood, and is often ignored
