The word EFOLIO is one we have dreaded all semester. However it is definitely a learning experience. Using the website live binders.....which is exactly what it sounds like, a live binder we were able to create a portfolio of all of our work over the semester. Our efolio helped us begin to get prepared for edTPA and student teaching. Our efolio is separated into numerous tabs and sub tabs. These tabs include things such as introducing ourselves, to places we can place our lesson plans, to the video of us teaching, to commentary about us teaching, to different rubrics and assessments. There is even a tab for our blog. This website is a permanent place for us to save the work we completed over the semester in our Social Studies method class. Our efolio is definitely a little intimidating because there are so many steps and ways to input. But it was such a learning experiencing because I know have a head start on an idea of what to expect when I have to create one like this to submit for student teaching. This efolio is a form of practice, and can be accessed to reference in the future. I always heard what was expected in our portfolio for student teaching but seeing it makes it much more understanding. This process will definitely be a long difficult one but it was great to get a head start on see what is expected from us.
Agree, it was also something i was dreading, but it will help us so much for student teaching. Which part did you think was the most difficult? Although I understand its purpose, I have to wonder if there is an easier way.
