Horizon Finally Reached

Wooohooo!!! Today is one hell of a glorious day folks. I've finished my ICT Portfolio!!!!

To view the final product please visit: www.krystalrpearsonswiki.wetpaint.com. I tried to create links so that you could actually see the items I produced however some took a very long time to upload while others will selectively work :P. Feel free to make a comment or provide a statement of support =).

Good luck to all those still motoring along to complete their portfolio and best wishes for your finals =).

Over and out,

Marathon #2

Yes today was a big day but I'm very pleased with my progress =).

Today I focused on completing:

1. Context and Belief Statement
2. Descriptions for all ICT items and
3. The rubrics for all ICT items.

Because my lecturer has not yet posted the portfolio guidelines I decided that a 300 word limit for 1. and 2. were reasonable. Additionally I concluded that a one page rubric will be quite sufficient for assessing each ICT item. Currently I have only two rubrics. The first rubric is designed to assess student's ability to effectively use MS Publisher and MS Excel. The second rubric on the other hand, will assess student's ability to use the provided MS Word document so to accurately execute graphics calculator functions.

So lets regroup and reflect on what is left to be done:

1. software OR website evaluation,
2. statement of support (obtaining and providing one),
3. contribution to a peer's Wiki,
4. uploading all the documents I said I'd upload onto my Wiki space.

So far I think that's about it. No doubt I'll remember something as soon as I post this blog. Well I guess that's it from me for now.

Until next time; take care,

Marathon Effort

You wouldn't believe it folks!

Yes I have finally completed all my ICT items- YAY! Hopefully by the end of the day I will have posted them on my wiki site- www.krystalrpearsonswiki.wetpaint.com. Please feel free to visit and give me some advice, I'd love to know what you think. However, it may be difficult to understand what and how they are doing to be used within the classroom as I have yet to write the 'Descriptions' for each ICT item. Therefore it may be best to wait until I have these completed first.

I am still a little confused as to how I will present my Excel item. Orginally I thought we were required to produce the print screens of the functions students will be required to use. However, I am under the impression that maybe I am supposed to provide an example of the finished product. I will try and get some clarification on this by the end of next week from my lecturer =).

Until next time,
