PRONOUNS: She/Her
Built an ePortfolio that highlighted project-based coursework.
Utilized an ePortfolio to showcase how my lesson plans met state elementary state specific education standards (InTASC Standards).
Used both elements from both previous ePortfolios to create a professional graduate-level ePortfolio.
While studying for my Associates in Education, I built an ePortfolio to highlight my lesson plans, classroom projects, and understanding of state curriculum. Showcasing various artifacts via an ePortfolio allowed me to share my rationale and display how it related to state InTASC Standards.
During my bachelors, I used an ePortfolio for a 10-week project-based course in which our group worked with a community client. By researching best practices and standards within the non-profit space, our group generated a list of research-based suggestions and feedback in the form of a recommendation report. This was supplemented by 100+ hours of research, literature reviews, and an annotated bibliography. Our ePortfolio allowed us to share the in-depth recommendation report to our client in an attractive and understandable format.
Elements of this project-based ePortfolio were highlighted in my personal/professional ePortfolio. As a graduate student studying Human-Computer Interaction, this is an ever-evolving space that I am able to showcase new projects as they are completed.
The group ePortfolio was featured in a project-based learning showcase at IUPUI's Institute for Engaged Learning
Highlighting my work on the project-based ePortfolio showcased my strengths and abilities when applying to a graduate program in 2022.
Skills learned creating both my project-based and elementary education ePortfolios enabled me to further develop my own professional ePortfolio.
The professional ePortfolio helped me get accepted into my graduate program of choice in 2023.
Current projects are continually being added to my professional ePortfolio and be used in future job search endeavors.
