657: Online Portfolio
Assignment Description
A
web-based electronic portfolio is meant to showcase what you
have learned through the educational experiences that you've had
as a pre-service teacher. Your portfolio is not to serve as a
mass of artifacts portraying the projects that you've completed.
Rather, your portfolio should offer viewers a carefully selected
set of items that best represent your learning enhanced with
corresponding reflections on why each selection was made.
The
purpose of this assignment is to establish a web-based portfolio
to communicate and electronically publish what you deem as your
most important learning experiences as an emerging educator
during your experiences as a MST student.
Assignment description:
For this assignment, you are asked to update your electronic
portfolio that you began during your first semester of your MST
program. Your portfolio should showcase what you've learned
throughout your experiences as an emerging educator. The
completion of your portfolio is a program requirement; no
in-class time will be provided to work on this project.
Therefore, it will be necessary for you to work on this project
outside of class. It is important for you to know that the
Memorial Library's Information Literacy Program offers workshops
on web page design if you need additional assistance. Dr.
Rombach will also provide intermittent individual and small
group workshops on electronic portfolio development throughout
the Fall 2006 semester.
As a MST program
requirement, you are asked to present your online portfolio at
the MST Portfolio Review on:
a future date discussed in class
