Set up portfolios and experiment with an outline. Upload the artifacts taken thus far. Practice student self-reflection. ||  ||

Work & Progress:
Upload: documents, photos, links, etc...

__3/26:__ Tasks: -sign up for twitter & follow edu/tech experts - buy weebly-pro account & set up page for each student - find/ play with more apps to make digital artifacts - use "show me" for self evaluation or other app option for self eval - make story using story robe - decide which artifacts to use for each unit next year in digital portfolio - develop a timeline for how often students will self assess/upload artifact

Ideal frequency of artifact collection and type:

Every two weeks for artifashowcasing tools such as showme,storytelling apps, video, etc Initial goal-setting for language using WIDA at the beginning of the year Every Friday, rotate groups of five students from each class to do one on one self-reflection of artifacts using WIDA Also document recordings of small group awhile class worDk At the end of each unit, do a summative artifact

What we've tried with apps so far:

Morgan- action words, minadventures, grasshopper apps, futaba by inkids Jenny- stick pick, my story

4/17 and 4/24: met virtually and tweeted app idea/weebly updates

5/1:

Christina shared that she is working on a weebly site, and is looking at doing an assessment possibly with story robe. mschristinascience.weebly.com

Jenny shared that she created a weebly page and uploaded the artifacts. She is going to do an assessment with show me and the students are making narratives with voicethread. Msjennyskiddos.weebly.com

Morgan is creating a weebly page and idoodling opinion writidousing the my story app.

Challenges: bandwidth on the computer, limit to file size for video uploads on weebly, upload time of videos to weebly, difficult to do with multiple classroom,s

Next step: expand websites to beprepared for next year

5/31: Christina's Weebly site is up with artifacts! Check it out!

It includes 2 videos for each student: 1 video of a science experiment explanation (using the iPad video camera), and 1 story robe video assessment on weather.

6/1: Jennys prototype weebly site is also up. There are three artifacts for each student: one video of students explaining the sequence of how to build an electrical circuit, a ShowMe artifact, and a VoiceThread digital story. There are also videos of interactive strategies in action. Next year we have yet to add student self assessments, artifacts of oral production in Spanish, updated language assessment scores, and regular artifact submission.
