Creating a portfolio has been very interesting this semester. The process of getting information online from your portfolio helps you be more organized as an educator. I plan to post my resume, lesson plans, pictures of students and activites of Crimnal Justice work. I also plan to incorporate the portfolio model into my lesson plans for my Criminal Justice students. I feel it will help organize and encourage my students for future activities in education, military and work force methods. For myself, the goal of profesional learning and implementing new technology to help me career wise is a plus when it comes to the porfolio mehtod. The portfolio has chalanged me to research all needed information concerning myself and applying it in a structure that could help me career wise in the department of education. I look foward to the completed work and time of the portfolio during the end of the semester.
I like the idea of making the portfolio part of the Law & Justice course. As you know, the old Criminal Justice is changing to Law & Justice next semester. Why not go ahead and write a lesson plan for the portfolio to be included in the new program. The last level of the new course is internship so what better way to prepare your students for an internship in law enforcement. Let’s go one step further and have them prepare the portfolio for their next level of education. This method of keeping information and accomplishments in one location is a great idea. Just think, if we had used this to apply to Georgia State all our information would have been right at hand. There are so many uses for a portfolio I am glad we are putting one together in this class. I look forward to keeping a portfolio in the future and adding a lot more to it.
ReplyDeleteI also like the idea of doing the portfolio on line because it is so easy to make changes. I agree that a portfolio can be a great benifit to your students and it might make them try a little harder. A good question to ask the student when they buil theirs is to ask the question, is this what you want your future employer to see?
