This six weeks course is designed to
help
you organize and develop your senior portfolio to meet the digital
portfolio
graduation requirement.
Divisional requirements for the
Senior Portfolio
are
quite straight-forward:
-
It must be digital (we recommend
Powerpoint).
-
You must use mapped abilities and
projects for
four, required "Divisional" Abilities.
-
The fifth is your choice, and must
be "mapped"
using an approval form provided by your instructor; exceptions not on
the
divisional "map" also require the approval form.
-
Education students must meet
education requirements
(demonstrating planning, implementing, evaluating) in addition to
divisional
requirements, for a total of eight abilities.
-
The presentation must use technology
effectively--make
your point, use good design principles, and minimize the glitz.
-
Your reflective statementsfor each
ability must
demonstrate a clear relationship between the project and the ability
A satisfactory grade in
this course requires completion of all the activities covered in weeks

your program's ability map:
English,
History,
Social
Science, Human Resources,
and Spanish.
Week 2:
Make main page for template; hyperlink pages together; decide on
buttons
and background
Week 3:
Complete resume; learn to screen capture (insert on resume page, crop,
link to resume); complete plan for each page--identify abilities and
select
projects for each. Select and "map" fifth Ability using divisional
form.
Week 4:

Ideally
you would have your five Ability pages done at this point, except, of
course,
you may not have completed projects yet in some classes that you intend
to showcase in your portfolio. Education students and those with
internships left to complete will also still have empty pages.
Week 6:
Show and tell. We will use two evaluation tools to help you
assess
your work at this point, and you will write a plan for completion.
