In an effort to obtain my future career goals mentioned in the earlier post entitled "Looking Back and Looking Ahead," I have begun developing a portfolio of technology related lesson plans for an elementary classroom. The portfolio will highlight lessons compatible for students with academic, social, emotional and behavioral needs. I am utilizing the Missouri Center for Career Education's guidance lesson plans as a starting point:

By using the lessons as a guide, I am seeking educationally appropriate websites, online games/activities, iPad apps or software to complement the lesson objectives. For example,the lesson "Many Faces of Me" can be implemented in conjunction with the following website: http://www.cccoe.net/social/BL1.htm
Ideally, the portfolio will be organized by content area (math, reading, writing, social skills, etc.) with examples of student work. This seems like a daunting project, but I have begun with the social skills section, as this is my specialty area. As the portfolio grows, I will post some pictures and descriptions.
Lots of work ahead...

Melissa one of the things about technology for the most part is you don’t have to recreate the wheel, but free open sources can enable you to build upon what someone else has already done, isn’t that great. If possible I would like to review your portfolio once you’re complete.
ReplyDeleteI would like to share the portfolio with you. I'm in the beginning stages and plan on adding to it every week, as I present them in my classroom. By the end of the semester, I should have enough pulled together. Any ideas on presentation? Originally I thought about a hard copy in a binder, but isn't that an oxymoron?
