How have I been building my Shape Shifting Portfolio in 307? So far, I have done three block projects. I have become proficient in three programs I was previously not well educated in. Within those areas I have also branched out and dabbled in other areas. At this point in the semester I am knowledged at the level where I can teach these programs to students. The programs I am reffering to are: iWeb, iMovie, and Comic Life. In addition, I have knowledge concerning the entire Adobe Suite, the picture editing programs like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. Aside from learning how to use these programs and being able to teach them to students I have learned how to apply them in the classroom to inspire students creativity. I have learned that students who might not be motivated or labelled "at risk" will respond to technologies like creating a web page or making a movie.
Another thing I have started to do is create mock lesson plans. I have been introducing new media into classroom assignments. So far I have written up critical questions applying to analysis of a video game trailer and a film.
I have also attended two lectures recently. Last night I saw Russell Banks speak, and a few weeks ago I heard Bruce Coville.
Those are the types of things I have done so far in 307 that have defined me as a person, that have made me marketable. These are the types of experiences, and things that I am involved in.
