WOW! Great start. You've put in a lot of work on this. And adorable picture on your personal page:)

You are continuing to make excellent progress. I love the opening quote. You really worked with Gagne's parts of a performance objective!

The chapter on performance objectives has really helped me focus my lessons!

I also love the quote you have included! After reading through your portfolio page I have a clear picture of what I will be learning, how I will be learning it, and why. I am creating a course on developing metacognition in math instruction and I think the use of an ePortfolio would be a phenomenal tool in having students reflect upon their progress. I would like to refer the viewers of my course to yours. I am looking forward to observing your progress and final product! -Catherine

I appreciate your comments. My biggest concern is that the participant in my course finds it easy to navigate and understand. I am glad you get that feeling.

Corrie, I love the work you have done so far. Excellent. Your passion for and knowledge about your topic comes through in your portfolio. Your map is cool. What tool did you use. While it is not detailed the color and layout make it really engaging. Please try to apply color and graphics to your unit pages so that it is not all text. Your performance objectives are good but some are still lacking in measurability especially when you use the word demonstrate. Using a computer, given detailed instructions, the student will demonstrate how to plan an ePortfolio. "demonstrate how to plan an portfolio" begs the question how will they demonstrate it. You could leave out the word demonstrate and use words like "create a written plan for a portfolio that contains ... components" Alternatively you can say will demonstrate knowledge how to plan a portfolio by producing a written plan that contains.... components.

There is so much good info here that I am already referring a student, from another class, who is interested in eportfolios to check it out.

Keep up the great work.

Jane

Thank you for your feedback. I used Pages to make the map. I wasn't sure about it, I took a risk! I will apply your comments to my objectives, this has definitely been the hardest part but the part I have learned the most about!
