Week12

I was privileged to experience this summative assessment tool in DFLIT. It helped me review the new technologies and educational methodologies, and consolidate my ideas. I am happy to have a comprehensive record of my development process in the course. I can review these ideas in the future. Finally, the record also allow me to reflect on the learning process holistically so that I can see the big picture of the Information Technology education in BC.
 * Portfolio**

My great experience in the portfolio exercise encourages me to use this tool in my future classroom. Like most of us in DFLIT, my students will need some time to accept and adapt this new learning tool. Initially, students may not know what to include and how to reflect on their portfolio. I need to remember to give them time and guidelines when using in a classroom.

Additionally, I need to know the goal of the portfolio is in my classroom. Most art and languages portfolio seem to put more focus on the quality of their creative work because the purpose of the portfolio is to accentuate the students' capacity to produce these works. Since our DFLIT portfolio's objective is allow us to record and consolidate our concepts, the selection process has to be more comprehensive. Both the capacity to accentuate one's skills and the capacity to review one's experience in a prolonged period of time are both important life skills. I have to select and develop the appropriate portfolio tool that fulfill my students' need.

I began my presentation by brainstorming my ideas on a [|blog page]. Although I love the accessibility of the tool, it is not a best tool for organization of my thoughts. I should try to Brainstorm using Inspiration and other [|concept mapping tools] in the future.
 * Final Presentation**

I also wrote a reflection on my presentation in [|my blog].
