Professional Portfolio

Profressional Resume

This is a presentation created by one of the students in my class that shows the difference in the different biomes. This shows my competency in using educational technology as this assignment required educational technology to research the different biomes and their characteristics, as well as to create the presentation itself. This was a highlight of my student teaching as it was interesting to see how students utilized the technology that was required to do this assignment, it was als educational to me as a teacher candidate as well, as I learned from some of the students a more efficient way to utilize this technology which has also influenced how I created this portfolio. This was not the case with every student though, because my student teaching assignment was in a rural are where internet is essentially non-existent, a lot of the students were unfamiliar with the technology being used and therefore were not competent enought to complete the assignment which led to me having to give them a  different project in the form of using construction paper and glue. The overall effect of this artifact was genuinely positive; however, because my placement was at a location that does not have very good technolological resources outside of the school I should have created a presentation myself, as well as created a brief tutorial that provided instructions to the students so they could create a presentation themselves.
