My ePortfolio

Graham Hughes (Student Number 11373894) 

This eportfolio ia a demonstration of my understanding of conceptual foundations and practical skills in educational technology. This task provides an opportunity to link theories of development and pedagogy with practical activities.

My tasks are

• to create an electronic portfolio to demonstrate my learning in this subject,
• reflect on my achievements, and
• note any adjustments made to the original Learning Contract.

The portfolio includes work samples or documentation, according to my Learning Contract, along with short explanations for my inclusion of each item.  I will should choose work that demonstrates the execution of my ideas and learning.  My  explanations need to convince the assessor of the successful elements in my achievements.

There are three required sections to the portfolio:

1.             evidence from the learning contract;

2.             at least one lesson plan or unit created according to the TIP model discussed at length in the textbook;

3.             copies of my 3 best forum postings, plus a response from someone else to one of my postings. The postings are meant to demonstrate my ability to think deeply about a topic or issues in technology education, or my ability to engage in effective dialogue with others, or sharing of ideas or expertise.

(see the buttons at the top of the page, or the Pages navigation in the right side bar) 

The portfolio can be created in any application I wish, but needs to be electronic.  I have decided to make use of this blogging tool, because  I have been encouraging teachers to make use of blogs in the classroom, as a means of students presenting their work, both for peer and teacher assessment.  If this tool is unsuitable for such presentation, I will need to advise teachers to use an alternative method. This presentation is as much a part of my continued learning as it is a task that will be assessed.
