Eportfolio
Once you have set up a Google account use it to create a Blogger account. Participants will use Blogger as an electronic portfolio for all activities for the class. 

Participants will create daily reflective entries that document and display the concepts, principles, ideas, applications and processes learned in each day's class. 

Each day's entry will be assessed a proportionate share of the overall grade available for the portfolio (40%). 

Daily entries will be expected to conform to a specified standard as assessed by a rubric (basic, advanced, professional).  Entries should be the equivalent of one page of typed text, or 250 words. 

Each multimedia project developed in class will be displayed on the e-portfolio (some projects will be assessed by specific rubric.) 

The overall professional design, organization and appearance of the web page will be considered in grading. 

Constructivism and constructionism are related educational theories and each is further specialized by considering the social aspects of learning. 

Social constructionism as articulated by Seymor Paypert declares that learning occurs best when people construct artifacts of their learning with the intention of sharing those artifacts with others. These artifacts can be written notes, diagrams charts or other physical components. Of course, with the availability of digital resources those artifacts become much more powerful. If a picture paints a thousand words, a 5 minute YouTube video paints ten thousand words.
