This blog will have posts about different module assignments that I will be doing for this course. This post will be about module two’s assignment. This assignment had me create an eportfolio, a list of artifacts I have created so far in this course, and a self-assessment. I am attaching my reflection for the module below.

Reflection:

This module’s learning focused on creating an eportfolio. I wasn’t familiar with the concept of what an eportfolio was, so I researched it. It was interesting to see how similar this was to a portfolio that teachers may have students create to show their work for the school year. I had to create a folder on google drive and that will be my eportfolio. This is something that I feel is a great way to set up an eportfolio because of how accessible it is to do. I had to then upload all the artifacts that I have created so far in this class. I went back through the completed discussion posts and assignments from modules one to four. I found a total of eight different artifacts. 

One of the first artifacts that I found was from the Module 2 discussion post and this was a video response. I remember that I used my phone to record this and wanted to next time find a different tool to use. I wanted to find a different tool to see what else tools are out there to use. I then uploaded my curated space lesson. This was created using Blendspace. I found this hard to upload, so I put the link to this on a google slide in the eportfolio. Next, I uploaded the Edpuzzle video I created for the annotated video section in the Module two assignment. I also struggled with finding a way to upload this, so I put the link on a google slide. I uploaded three artifacts from the Module three assignment. I first uploaded the key details assessment. This artifact has an assessment using google slides. The Edpuzzle assessment was uploaded into google slides with the link. The last artifact uploaded from the module three assignment was the cumulative assessment. For this artifact, I uploaded the google forms and the google slides that have the story that is linked to the assessment. The Youtube playlist was uploaded as an artifact. I couldn’t figure out how to put it as a video on the eportfolio, so I uploaded it as a link on a google slide. This is something that I plan on changing because I know there is a way to upload it as a video. The last artifact that I uploaded was the lesson opener. I also uploaded that as a link on a google slide and will change it to a video. 

This module’s assignment showed me what content makes up an eportfolio. The content that is the eportfolio provides one with different examples of how I used technology when designing lessons. Also, the use of eportfolios it helps push for learning centered instruction (Eynon et al., 2014). I feel that is something that I started doing with creating this eportfolio. This is something that I can also do when I teach my own classroom to help with establishing learner-centered instruction. Overall, this module has allowed learning about a new technology tool that I can as both as a teacher and for my professional use.
