"This is an excellent example of a web portfolio showing the professional learning, growth, and accomplishments of a practicing educator. The emphasis is on technology, but it's important to note that the educator is not a technologist by nature.

The way in which different political philosophies have given expression to various forms of political institutions and our ways of life are examined throughout the course."
