Portfolio Guide for EDC 220

Your portfolio will consist of several types of documents collected into a folder or binder (or they can be bound together) which you will submit to the instructor at the final exam period. Each section of your portfolio should be clearly labeled and separated from the other parts using file tabs or post-its.

Instructions: Printout this page. Then fill-in the blanks with the requested data. Tally your self-evaluation points at the bottom of the page. The portfolio must include a table of contents and point tally (this page should be used for this purpose).

Here is the basic structure of the portfolio:

1. Table of Contents (this sheet)

2. Reflective Statement: You should prepare a brief 2-3 page reflective essay reviewing what you learned in this course and how you see yourself integrating technology into your instruction. Think back on your experiences in this class. What are the most important things you have learned? Please reflect on at least three types of learning you have done in the course:

1. What knowledge have you gained?
2. What skills have you acquired?
3. What attitudes have you developed?
4. What progress did you make on your personal technology goal  for this term?
   
   • (see the course syllabus for a list of the course objectives in these three domains).
