  • students get to see role models and are excited about the many amazing technology career paths they can pursue.
  • The National Science Foundation’s most recent (2012) report shows that computer science has the lowest proportion of women receiving bachelor degrees of all the STEM fields. The percentage dipped to a mere 11 percent from 2007 to 2009 and gradually returned to 14 percent by 2013 to 2014.

    Tom Barrett's blog. I selected this blog from the list posted in our homework materials. I want to follow him because his posts were about the things we have been talking about (design thinking, twitter chats, etc.), he seems to have a community commenting on his blog posts and I wanted to follow someone who was outside of the Vermont education world (he's from England).

      Added benefit of built in audience and feedback (feedback could be from teacher or others)
  • Gradually, we begin to add drawings and use other media to show our learning, such as video, Audioboo (for voice recordings or podcasts) and Storybird (to make embeddable storybooks).  We have also used tools such as Animationish and the ScreenChomp app for the iPad. We have taken pictures of posters or other things they have made, or posted combinations of these if we feel that using only one tool is not adequate to show what we can do.

  • Selection: the development of criteria for choosing items to include in the portfolio based on established learning objectives. Collection: the gathering of items based on the portfolio's purpose, audience, and future use. Reflection: statements about the significance of each item and of the collection as a whole. Direction: a review of the reflections that looks ahead and sets future goals. Connection: the creation of hypertext links and publication, providing the opportunity for feedback.

    A great article that is about the importance of teacher/administrator collaboration. I like that it addressed that the biggest reason collaboration doesn't happen in schools is because there is a lack of time but we need to make time to collaborate for our students.
