3-Collection-Docs (How?)

Topic: COLLECTION/ARCHIVING- Level 1 Portfolio (Storage)Introduction by Dr. BarrettIn this lesson, we will focus on the development and storage of digital artifacts that will provide the examples or demonstrations of learning. These artifacts should be the outcome of effective integration of technology throughout the learning process. You will begin to explore the different tools that are available to implement electronic portfolios. As part of the planning process, you will identify the different stakeholders in the portfolio development process, and begin to develop a communication plan for introducing electronic portfolios to each group. Learning Objectives: You will

• • create a plan for adopting GoogleDocs as a system for managing a digital archive of work.

  • explore the variety of online portfolio strategies (match your technology competency, tools, cost, etc.)

  •   explore basics about using GoogleDocs, including sharing, comments/feedback

- Capturing the Moment

- as the outcome of Integrating Technology into Instruction

Implementation Plan Activity:

Step 4: Stakeholders - Who is involved and how will you introduce them to ePortfolios?

Identify Stakeholders in Portfolio Implementation Process and Develop Initial Communication Plan for each stakeholder group

Step 5.1: Plan for Level 1 implementation: ePortfolios as Storage (how will artifacts be created, how will they be stored in GoogleDocs?)

Portfolio Activity

Explore using GoogleDocs as online systems that can be used to create electronic portfolios. Establish online account with GoogleDocs. Create a matrix that identifies appropriate digital artifacts to demonstrate different portfolio purposes. Explore the various online systems that can be used to create electronic portfolios. Establish online account with chosen online service (GoogleDocs) and provide rationale for choice in appropriate discussion.

Alternative Assignment (building your own professional portfolio):

Address the questions above but focus on your own professional portfolio development context. Create an online space to store your artifacts and identify the artifacts you have collected and how they will be represented in your portfolio (the matrix identified in the Portfolio Activity above and in the Level 1 resource).
