TIE 592 Portfolio Development Seminar

Session 1

Agenda

"Portfolios are collections of students' work over time." (source)

"A portfolio tells a story.
It is the story of knowing.
Knowing about things... Knowing
oneself... Knowing an audience...
Portfolios are students' own
stories of what they know, why
they believe they know it, and
why others should be of the
same opinion.”
(Paulson & Paulson, 1991)

Thinking about Standards

International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE):   NETS-T (You are building on these, which you had when you started the program)

ISTE Technology Facilitation (These are the ones that allow us to say our program is approved by ISTE)

http://cnets.iste.org/ncate/n_fac-stands.html

Illinois Content Area Standards (Technology Specialist) (These are similar--not exactly the same--as the ISTE TF standards)
