What is a Master Portfolio

Electronic Portfolios: Teachers, Students, and Life Long Learners

The Assignment (at least one approach)
Develop a personal ePortfolio. The portfolio may be created using Powerpoint or web based (wiki, web site, etc). Note, if you are familiar with other software and wish to use it, discuss with me, software such as Flash and iDVD are examples of other software that can be used. The ‘final’ portfolio must be submitted on a CD or DVD - the only exception to this is if you use a Web 2.0 application, such as a wiki or web page creation/hosting site, in which case, you must INVITE me to view it!

The purpose of this assignment is to get you started on constructing a professional ePortfolio. Having a Portfolio (Print and electronic) is of growing importance in job hunting.

The portfolio should include:
 * a PLAN - can be sketched on paper - what will be on each page, what will it include? colours? etc
 * an introductory 'splash page'.
 * a philosophy of education/teaching (use one from Pro Teacher course!)
 * your cv (resume)
 * reference contacts
 * P.D. or other pertinent training
 * sample work (projects, writing, lessons)
 * other artifacts as wanted (eg - photos, letter of intro - goals etc...)

The idea is to start the Portfolio, it will be a 'work in progress' that you can add to throughout your program to have ready for the job hunt!

Submit your CD or DVD OR invite me to your Web 2.0 application that you used
