Show Me Yours and I'll Show You Mine! Lamar Eportfolios

I loved getting a chance to look at everyone’s Eportfolio. We’ve spent so much time in discussions in the classes throughout this program that it was great to put a “feel” to each others’ personalities through the layout and designs of Eportfolios. When I first started building mine in Google Sites, I was a little disappointed because I felt like there weren’t very many options for themes. But as I started picking and choosing my own pictures and layout, I felt like I put my own stamp on it. After looking at some of my classmates, each one had a completely different personality to it. It really showcased the COVA approach and how we all seem to find our voice through the blogs and posts. Even though we had the same assignments, none of ours look remotely the same. They are not any copies of each other, which inspires me to want to do the same for my students in my classroom. I feel like students can use this as a creative outlet as well as a place to show their growth as well as continue to work on their basic technology skills.

          After looking at some of the previous students’ work, I’m a little overwhelmed at how much mine is lacking. But I know that in time and through the program, mine will begin to take shape and offer much more. I’m also appreciative to have these as guides to look back through as we continue to our next courses.

FlipGrid in the Classroom

Flipgrid in the Classroom I was so excited to use Flipgrid for the first time in my classroom. It was very user friendly for my upper elementary students. First my student created Blackout poems from various articles. After completing their poems and framing them with construction paper, students videoed themselves on Flipgrid reading their poems. This gave my students to opportunity to read their poems in their own voice, without the stress of standing in front of their peers. This was a simple way to introduce Filpgrid to my students so that in the future, we can continue to use these videos in our learning. To check out Flipgrid, visit https://info.flipgrid.com/

Learning Networks.

Since my husband (former coach) and I have changed schools several times, I’ve built my own little network of teachers from all over the state. We may not share ideas on social media or through networking sites, but we do share through conversations, emails, and planning collaboration. I hope to gain some more “team members” on my network though this DLL program. I am already texting and emailing with new colleagues from the administration classes. I am a member of TCEA and I am constantly either saving their suggestions. I feel that this particular organization provides the information and the how about programs or apps that I need in order to use them in my classroom.  I also follow many teachers or tech “gurus” as I call them on twitter. I may not be a member of their particular community, but I follow and learn about new programs, apps and approaches from the work they are doing and sharing. This has been beneficial for me when I’m looking for something new or if I’m looki...

Why Use an ePortfolio?

COLLAPSE I already touched on this in a previous post, but as teachers, we are so much more than a one day formal evaluation or the answers to the handful of questions we are asked during an interview. I love how the ePortfolio can give some insight into who we all are as teachers, show personality, and show how we are all in this journey. This can be a great asset when applying for future positions, but I see it as so much more, too. Now that I have started to establish relationships with my classmates, I am excited to learn from their blogs and ePortfolios just as if I've walked into their classroom during my conference or after school to chat about the day. I plan to use this to show snippets into my classroom for others to learn from, but also, I hope to gain suggestions and tips from those who comment. My classroom is no where near where I want it to be as far as integrating technology consistently. I feel these ePortfolios will provide another place I can draw ideas from...
