Finishing Touches

PART ONE: Finishing up your portfolio
  1. View the Portfolio Project Assignment for a detailed grading rubric describing how your final portfolio will be assessed. The final portfolio is due Wednesday, July 5 at the beginning of class.
  2. You still have a few sections to complete - namely, the Introduction page and a navigation bar for all of your pages.
PART TWO: Showcase and Final Reflection
  1. Showcase assignment: You will need to create a display for your work area for Wednesday's class. This can consist of signs to place around your computer, a tri-board (as seen in our classroom), and/or food. You will be asked to give one reason why students should come and view your projects -- so your display should be enticing. You will be taking the display with you at the end of Wednesday's class - so don't bring anything too large or difficult to carry.
  2. Final Reflection: You will need to bring a printed copy of your final reflection to class on Wednesday. You will not link this to your online portfolio. To complete your final reflection, you can use readings from the beginning of the semester or you can look online for background information on different types of learning theories and teaching strategies (this is from your EPSY 2020 class if you've taken it yet):
    Funderstanding:
    You'll find links to descriptions of several different learning theories
    Teaching and Learning Strategies:
    You'll find descriptions of various teaching and learning strategies -- many of which we have discussed in class.
PART THREE: Opportunities beyond EDIT 2000


For the remainder of class today, you can work on your WebQuest, Capstone Project, Final Reflection, or your Final Portfolio.

For Monday:
  1. WebQuests are due Monday, July 3 at 10:30 am. You do not need to email me with the web address. I will access it from one of your other pages using the navigation bar you created in today's class.
  2. Monday's class is an optional attendance day. Come to the lab anytime between the hours of 9:00-12:00 if you need to make up an absence and/or need assistance with your portfolio, reflection, or Capstone project. You must be in class for a minimum of one hour to make up an absence.
  3. Make sure to read the blog on Monday (even if you do not come to class). It will include announcements and reminders that you will need in order to prepare for Wednesday's class.
  4. Please note that there are 3 things due on Wednesday, July 5: Final Reflection, Final Portfolio, and the Capstone Project. You will also need to bring a display for the class showcase.
  5. Please remember that you are welcome to email me with questions about any of your projects, even if you are not coming to class on Monday.
  6. Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
