Portfolio – security and safety for students. Digital Citizenship is important with this. (make sure no addresses end up on a resume, etc. email considerations. How can it be used? 4 artifact items
 * Portfolio discussion**
 * To get a job
 * To prove good citizenship
 * To show strengths
 * Visual/spatial representation
 * Marketing – visual business card
 * Showcase work
 * Showcase work
 * 1) Content based, standard based assignments
 * 2) Written/presentation
 * 3) Complete thought process
 * 4) Personal expression

Reflection question for students: Value of portfolio uses:
 * How will you protect your identity (digital citizenship) when posting your artifacts?
 * How will you communicate navigation through your portfolio to an end user?
 * How will you choose artifact items knowing that you can’t use them all?
 * Why did you choose the artifact that you are using? How does it demonstrate your learning?
 * Concrete evidence of learning
 * Differentiation and choice of learning styles

Interactive Whiteboard In order to understand the benefit (perceived) of interactive whiteboards you will observe use of a whiteboard in a classroom you have access to and collect data on uses observed and related by the instructor. If you have no access to an interactive whiteboard, please search for Smart or Promethian board use videos and observe what you find in these videos. []
 * Record your notes from the observation
 * You can use __[|this simple 3 column notes template]__  with some look fors or places to collect your thoughts. please do not feel you HAVE to use this method, but look at the behaviors of the students and tecahers as evidence of effectiveness.

Read the following articles and respond to the following questions onthe Regis IT Cohort Google Group.
 * Do they advance the process of learning?
 * Are they cost-effective?
 * What are the effective practices that must be coupled with IWB adoption?

mwacker@regis.edu Grade earned in class and why?

The EDTC 605 Multimedia class was a whirlwind of applications, navigation (both in applications and application usage and troubleshooting) and, for me, reflection on my usage of multimedia within my classroom. I very much enjoyed all of the assignments as I was able to find relevant ways in which to use content learned meaningfully in my classroom. From the first assignment of defining and developing a classroom portfolio to the final assignment of using data visualizations to convey information or evaluations/reflections, I was able to easily see how all topics covered in the class were applicable in a classroom environment. This is evident in the performance portfolio page that I created as the first assignment. The portfolio page includes content learned in the show, and shows evidence that Performance Arts standards, as well as other content area standards are addressed and reinforced. As a music teacher who is torn between the educational value of spending time rehearsing for performances and the benefit of students experiencing varied performance settings, this show portfolio will archive student performance information, demonstrate curricular value in rehearsals and performances, and act as a marketing tool to support a program that is frequently threatened due to budget issues. I was also able to use the polling techniques learned in class to check for student learning, and create an opportunity for Veterans to participate in a digital roll call or guest list.

I enjoyed the flexibility of a loose structure that allowed us to independently navigate and learn about Google.earth, Sketch-up, the polling applications, and Google.sites. I can see how students who thrive in a more 'structured' class format would be stifled with the approach, but as a nonlinear thinker I found the structure to be very engaging. A way in which to differentiate the content so those who desired more direct instruction could have access to more explicit expectations, timelines, etc. the needs of more learners would be met. I enjoyed the project based approach very much. Though there is value in researching and producing papers that outline thinking, I personally am more engaged with creating projects then discussing them with the cohort. I enjoyed seeing how other cohort members were applying multimedia in their classrooms, which generated more ideas of my own.

Moving forward, I would like to continue investigating the google applications. Google.earth caused a lot of headaches, but once I was able to successfully create the tour, I could begin to see how virtual tours (particularly in music) could enhance learning and understanding and plan to begin incorporating tours in my instruction. I also enjoyed using google.sites to create the portfolio at the beginning of class and would like to continue working with adding other features into my site. As with other classes, we identified and talked about numerous other online multimedia applications of which I was not familiar. I have started an archive of sites to visit and learn more about to evaluate the feasibility of use in the classroom.

My only feedback would be to ensure that communication lines open for students who are needing more direction in terms of homework assignments. I thought that the instructor excelled at asking questions that challenged our thinking and encouraged us to think for ourselves. I thoroughly enjoyed the class thanks to engaging instruction and interesting content. I believe that I should receive an A in this class. Much though was put into each assignment with a focus of authenticity and relevance. This is evidenced by the fact that I am already using the Portfolio, Surveys and Polls, and reflection from the Interactive Whiteboard observations within my instruction.
