Linking to Artifacts

Your final WebQuest reflection is due at the beginning of class today.

Today you'll prepare your course projects to be added to your web-based portfolio. You'll rename documents and copy them into your portfolio folder. You'll also save your Inspiration/Kidspiration projects as images and your resume as a .pdf.

After getting everything organized, you'll link to your individual artifacts/projects on the appropriate pages in your web-based portfolio. You may want to go ahead and link to all of your artifacts or you may want to work on content and then add the artifact links as you go. Remember to use this student portfolio as a reference for what is expected. Also, continue to refer to the checklist so you know what is required for each page in your portfolio.

***Did you know that Dreamweaver will allow you to spellcheck your work?! Go to Text>Spelling.
***Don't forget to save all web pages with the .htm file extension!!

We do not have a final exam in this class - we have a final project: the web-based portfolio and a final reflection paper. The purpose of the final reflection paper is to allow you the opportunity to reflect on what you've learned in EDIT 2000 this semester and to begin to think about how you will apply your new knowledge and skills in your future classroom. Because the end of the semester is so focused on technical skills, it is important to recall the theories and ideas behind K-12 technology integration. While the reflection paper is not a research paper - it is a summation of all that you have learned this semester. Before writing your paper, I recommend the following:
1. Review the assignment description - plan to organize your paper around the specific questions that are asked - no more, no less.
2. Review the blog postings from this semester - they are more than just links to resources.
3. Review the readings that were distributed at the beginning of the semester.
4. Take the reflection assignment seriously - it is worth 10% of your grade and I am looking for a synthesis of what you have learned this semester.

The reflection paper is due (in a printed copy) on Thursday, December 8. It will not be accepted late or as an email attachment.
