Alicia, This is a good start. If the wiki software is awkward for you, you may want to copy and paste the formatting from someone else's portfolio so that you can then copy the wiki code where you need it.

Great Topic -- Valerie Nobile 16:55, 22 October 2012 (EDT)

Alicia, I am definitely interested in your course choice. I absolutely agree that creative play is essential in the classroom, especially for the younger grades. It is a shame how you mentioned standardized testing is even trickling down to such young students. I like that you will be incorporating media in the course. My only suggestion would be to bold some of your sub topics to stand out a little more for the reader. I look forward to checking out your course!

-Your portfolio includes a detailed needs assessment summarizing research about your topic. Great job with this, particularly the amount of detail included in your context section. I do think that you might reorder the headings on the portfolio page, making subheadings under “needs assessment” for each bullet point. This could greatly aid the learner in navigating your portfolio page and jumping specifically to one section using the navigation links that are automatically created at the top of every page.

-Your course goals are clear and well written. Likewise, your performance objectives include measurable tasks that the learner will be expected to complete during the course in very great detail.

-I like that you separated the prerequisite skills in to those needed based on the online wiki format versus those needed for the content. Those are two distinct categories of skills and I think you did a good job addressing them as such.

-Perhaps you could be more specific when you say “knowledge of early childhood development” – what specific knowledge/theories/people/ideas does the learner need to be familiar with before they can be successful. You may find some aspects are essential while others are supportive.
