I am working my way through Shelly Terrell’s #30GoalsEdu http://teacherbootcamp.edublogs.org/30-goals-2012/. Each week there are a few goals to reflect upon. Goal 1 is to create a Me Manifesto that identifies what you want to accomplish in your class.
For me that is easy – technology integration and the publication of student work. I want my kids to publish photomovies, blog posts, fake tweets/facebook pages and essays on their ePortfolios. It is my experience that I can engage the ‘unengageable’ more with technology than I could with pen and paper.
Here are some of the ePortfolios that my students have published. Some are better than others BUT I am pleased with them all. The students rose to the challenge and completed more work for me on their ePortfolios than they did completing worksheets.
