Please sign up for a google account so you can develop your e-portfolio using the google tools like blogger, google doc, picasa etc.
We will do the reflection exercise 3 times:
1) after you have compiled 1/3 of your artifacts
2) after you have compiled 2/3 of your artifacts
3) after your e-portfolio is completely ready.
We will do one of the reflection exercises using Second-Life so do register as a member. We need to plan a time to meet.
Since all of you are developing your e-portfolio using google tools, you will be able to easily access one another e-portfolio and artifacts for the reflection exercises.
Finally, can each of you email the names of courses you have already taken in the MIDT program?
Thank you
Putri
Dear Dr Putri
ReplyDeleteI have my second life account already made, I did it at the start of the course. Will be eager to use it!
The courses that I have taken in the MIDT programme are mentioned semester wise in my e-portfolio prposal, will that do, or should I send them to you again as a separate document?
Please let me know.
Kind regards
Sarah
Dear Dr Putri,
ReplyDeleteTwo points:
1. As far as I know, the diet for the MIDT courses was pre-determined and fixed. The only option we were offered was whether one would do an internship or complete a research project. However, I will collect the courses and send to you shortly.
2. Internet in Bangladesh is slow. I tried to register in Second Life right at the beginning of the semester. However, even during registration, internet was so slow that I was timed out. I will try again, however, as far as I understand, using Second Life may be a problem from Bangladesh.
With best wishes.

Dear Dr Putri and all,
ReplyDeleteAs I started collecting my artifacts, I have kind of worked backwards, i.e.
1. I identified the areas in which I have already used my learning from a MIDT course at my university.
2. Then I identified which assignment helped me understand and implement something at my university.
3. Finally, I selected the course that the assignment belonged to.
Since the Chairman of the Governors of my university is my primary audience, I want to show how my learning has benefited the university. This can only shown by results of projects implemented.
I was planning to use between three to four artifacts. Is that too little? How many would be appropriate?
Best regards.

Dear Dr Putri and Classmates,
ReplyDeleteI have prepared a table of the courses done by all at MIDT. I have added two extra columns showing the selected assignments from the course and partly where I have applied it.
Looking at all the courses at a glance, I see that most courses have contributed towards the current understanding that I have of IDT and the skills are cumulatively applied in the research project.

Dear Dr Putri and Classmates,
ReplyDeleteApologies, the table seems to have broken up. However, since the course codes are all BLOCK CAPS, they kind of stand out. If needed, I can send the table via email to all.
Best regards.

Dear Yusuf

Dear Dr Putri,
ReplyDeleteI already have an account at Blogger.com. The URL is:
http://bmybest.blogspot.com/
May I use this for the e-Portfolio?
I actually reflected on my life as a teacher and posted this in December, 2006 at:
http://bmybest.blogspot.com/2006/12/my-journey-as-teacher.html
I have actually come a long way since then. Can we add menus and links in the Blog for better organisation?
Best regards.

Dear Putri,
ReplyDeleteI've opened an account at blogger, http://www.blogger.com/home for E-portfolio tasks. Should I start postings in it about my reflections on MIDT?
Waiting for your guidelines.
