This year, I began my masters degree in Digital Learning and Leading from Lamar University. I am really excited to begin this work. I have put it off for a variety reasons that all have to do with the ability to commit the time to the program. Regardless, I have taken the leap. On this page, you will be able to follow along with my experiences and reflections on what I am learning in this course. The course is a deep dive into the practice and use of ePortfolios as a method of learning. At the start, we reviewed these web articles.
As I read, I kept reflecting back on how we did things in class, how I have done my own portfolios, and how we as a district are moving forward this year. In just a day, my eyes are more open to how to engage my class better. I am excited for this class so that I can make ePortfolios something we do, not something we endure. The biggest take-away for me at the moment was the concept of the portfolio not being a collection of dots, but more of a journey that connects the dots. It really made things click for me as to how to begin making a difference in my class and in my own practice. For now, the lingering question is centered on meeting the district requirements without sacrificing the quality and depth of the reflection. Our school, like so many other schools and states, loves checklists. Harapnuik, D. (n.d.). ePortfolios. [online] Harapnuik.org.
