Overview on Portfolio & Google sites

During the course Eduu563, I prepared three websites from Google. Using Google sites is very easy and convenient. However; sometimes it’s hard to organize the navigation bar or even make some changes by adding/delete items. The most remarkable thing in using Google sites and helpful in adding podcast is the accession of YouTube to put Videos, (HTML) Picasa Web album for uploading pictures. I started creating my electronic portfolio on Google sites and organized it to include the following:
v Home Page
v Resume
v Technology
v Blogs
v Wikis

Under the Home page I wrote a welcome to my portfolio then all the above items lead to the page where you can read more about it. For example if you click on Technology the link leads you to open a new page which include the eight standards, each standard takes user to artifacts and reflection. Users can navigate to round the pages without going back to the Home page.
I always use Microsoft Office / Word Document for editing and some other software for Pictures, videos, animations and sound (graphics & podcasting).

I think that I met the requirements for Standards one through four. I have to spare time to learn other standards within this course Eduu 564 and catch up what I have missed in the previous Course Eduu 563. I need to learn some skills that help me to prepare a rubric for assessment and evaluation, instead of using the online ready made one.

In the real life experience at Defense Language Institute, Arabic School one, teachers use black board and smart board both of them have some kind of assessment, for example, we use the black board ( Grade book to score our students home work or assignment. The Smart board gives a quick feedback to students if a student makes a mistake by sending a message try again or gives the correct answer.

I prepared some artifacts for Standards one through six with reflection why I chose this standard. Digitizing the artifacts could be a reflection on the chosen standard and skills that a student mastered to do assignment (showcase what you learned).

According to my portfolio I think it should include:
ü The Home page, giving introduction & about us
ü Resume and C.V. which contain personal data, academic background and experience…
ü Technology, a list of all tech standards with artifacts and reflections
ü Blogs that show the user your contributions in Education Technology
ü Wikis displaying the topics you wrote during the previous tech courses such as Eduu: 551, 552, 563, & 564.
