What is an ePortfolio
What they are:
1.carefully selected items that help a learner reflect upon and possibly demonstrate an understanding of his or her learning
2.a powerful means of personalization
3. a powerful means of supportung universal design for learning
an authentic means of assessment
a tool controlled by the student (teacher doesn't necessarily see everything)
User centric
Flexible organization
Variety of applications
tagging artifacts
Integration with the learning environment
Support for social learning
Shift in assessment practice
Learning and assessment are part of the same process
learner agency is engaged towards
*assessing their own talents and aspirations
*planning a pathway towards meaningful purposes
Social Learning (may need a "shift in Instructor Thinking")
Can link to nav bar
Artifacts an object to put into a ePortfolio
Able to STRUCTURE
Able to Tag
Linking vs uploading : LINK--why duplicate storage!
Can use multiple tags in single field with commas, "quotation marks" for duplicate word tags
Collections are groups of things. Can tag collections for mega-tagging
Add by groups (with a tag) it will pull everything in with that tag (and continue to add as new items are added with that tag.
"Add Tag to List" is automatically "And" so do tags separately as different searches so it is an "or"
NOT A DUMPING STATION--REFLECT AND CHOOSE
Presentation
Theme (colors etc.)
Banner (Title Descriptions)
Reflections can be "Associated" (connected) to selected artifacts
Exploring: what has been shared with me
Different controls about what you control and with whom
Can have ePortfolio public or not public
Individual users or groups of people (create a "sharing group")
Can add internal or exteneral (ie grandma via an email address)
You can invite someone to view portfolio. The invite is available for 3 days. You can set the view for that user too
To export presentation, go into the presentation and then click on export from there. Sends as a zip file.

Steve Binder How to Survive Teaching with a Sense of Humor
Teaching is like being a stand up comedian.
If you ask most teachers, they'd say they don't like standardized testing.
If you have a sense of humor as an educator it makes you human, makes you approachable.
Take more chances.
People are qwirky and things will go awry. Humor helps.
You can't control the wind, but you can control the sails.
Kindergartner: cute and look like toys, but they're psychotic.
Binder: We get old when we stop playing children's games.
We don't always know we are affecting kids.
It's not what you teach it's your attitude.
"I think we should videotape everyclassroom" to avoid he said/she said at parent/teacher conferences.
"Credit recovery" not "summer school".
The worst people in the office are the ones about to retire. The new faculty who have excess energy and activities.
Have the right to be happy.--Why can't we have that everywhere?
You don't HAVE to say those things, instead we choose to share.
Sometimes you're the only one who knows your doing a good job and you have to be ok with that.
Because an educator is a special person--look for 4 words: Oh, I get it.

FUSION 11 Social Media for Teaching and Learning
Tanya Joosten
httlp://tinyurl.com/yafuqz
Asked students, some results:
I want to feel connected.
Frequent communication with instructor
need to feel connected to learn
I don't use email (email as something you use to talk to "old people")
I do use social media A LOT (go to social networking sites 5 days per week and check in 4 times a day for a total of an hour per day. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of online 18-29 year olds use these sites. 45% was result for teens)
71% want to receive text messges (American teen sends and receives 50 or more messages per day or 1,500 per month).
Social Media:
Has to have a profile and need to have a list of connection which can be shared
People sharing;everybody and anybody can share anything anywhere. Status-leveling. (??)
Push communication to where students live.
Creating a course fan page is recommended over group (newsfeed). Using it to complement D2L not replace it. Put link in the Nav Bar.
Facebook is like a ladder (to send information or comment on) to connect to other communities (on and off campus)
Still getting a lot of information just from the headlines or quick view of other info being shared
Socionomics (Check to see if new video is the one linked in course) (Link Re-Tweeted)
Pewinternet.org
Best Practices with Facebook:
Fan Page--you don't see their personal info and they don't see yours
Advise to choose an image that represents the class
Need to use it consitently (once every 2 weeks-not good) Best is 3-5 a week because you don't want to be overloaded/spammed with info.
Course announcements (no grades discussed or other private info)
Opt in (put course page in scavenger hunt during orientation)
Engagement, Learning, Presence
Students felt they were talking to a real prof, got to know "them" better, increased engagement,
Helped them manage time and stay organized
Facilitate interactivity and engagement
Expanding the classroom walls:experiential learning
Professional Development
Text message send to 4044 (assessment technique) with course Hashtag (called hex in Asia)
Network and Fellow colleagues
