Tips for Free

During the second week of classes, we had the opportunity to take a look at a few e-portfolios. I am looking forward to starting my e-portfolio for the term! Our class was able to make up a list of what we thought our e-portfolios should consist of and how they should be layed out. We also had the pleasure of having Andy & Darren show us some interesting ways to express our feelings about a specific topic. For an example we had to pick a word that had something to do with education where we would fill it in with the "what" matters. I chose the word Respect, so my slogan was "Respect Matters". After we decided on our word we had to go onto www.compfight.com and type in our "what" word and decide on a picture that best explains our "what" word. I had learned that when we take pictures say even off of google, we should be citing the URL to give those photographers credit which I have never really thought of before! whoops!! Once the entire class had our pictures done, we had to send them to Andy and Darren through dropitto.me which was a fairly neat process! As soon as the class sent their pictures, it was added into a slide show immediately and we got to view our pictures as a class! I found this type of procedure to be very cool and definitely something I would like to try with older students!! Their presentation was full of tips and strategies to get the students involve with technology while keeping them engaged!
