When that is done we will start (or restart) work on your digital portfolios. I have a link to a few examplars of web-based digital teaching portfolios:

http://cte.jhu.edu/techacademy/fellows/Spencer/webquest/lasindex.html (A particularly good introduction to the teaching portfolio).

http://www.lindsayonline.net/Reaching_Out/Teacher_links/digital_portfolio.htm (One example of an online teaching portfolio)

http://eduscapes.com/tap/topic82.htm (a website that has tons of links to articles on the digital portfolio and links to many example portfolios).

If you weren't able to attend class last Thursday, please follow the instructions in these two presentations then e-mail me (justus.randolph@finlandia.edu) the URL of your blog, which should also have your feedreader on it. If you have any questions about blogs or feedreaders, contact me, Lisa, or Gina.

Next week, Alisha is going to show us about Wikis and Fawntelle will show us how to easily create a website.

That's all for now,

Justus
