Electronic Portfolio Blog

Your semester project will be a Digital Online Electronic Portfolio in the form of a blog. .   You will be required to post an example of student work from that week. The example can be an electronic file of any sort. This includes a picture of something you did or any other type of file. All names must be removed from each example of student work so you must only use your code name that you have provided to Mrs. Crowe. You will be added as an author to this blog if you have an email that your parents are aware of so that you are able to do this.   Please follow the guidelines below:

*Do not set up multiple pages; Only set up one page for all of your postings.  The title of your page should be your code name you have provided to me, and you should date each sample(s) according to the appropriate week of the semester. 

*You will be provided a minimum of 15 minutes each Friday to provide feedback about the piece of work you have chosen to post.  You should use the “Content Reflection for Electronic Portfolio” for your written portion of the blog. All questions from the “Content Reflection for Electronic Portfolio” should be typed as a post for that week.  You may copy and paste the questions from the “Content Reflection for Electronic Portfolio” to aid in your answering of questions.

*  Your blog/electronic portfolio will be graded each nine weeks for a total of 2 grades.  You should have 7 entries for each time it is graded.
