Technology Tasks for 8th Grade: Week of 2/22- Finalizing the Digital Portfolio
This is it, as this week we are finalizing our digital portfolios. Each of you will have to choose one of the options to submit for your digital portfolio. Once you have selected your option, you will be instructed as to how this is going to be submitted. All finalized digital portfolios have to be emailed to me by Friday night, 9:00 on 2/26. Each Digital Portfolio is worth 500 points. Students who do not submit a digital portfolio by this time stamp will receive a 70%, or 350/500.
1. Blog- If your digital portfolio is your blog, you will write a small paragraph describing your blog. Your paragraph should include the title of the blog, what was the primary focus of your blog, and some of the digital design elements or customization on your blog. Finally, please identify one area that you think needs more attention in the future for your blog. This paragraph can be in the email text, and should also include the blog address in the email.
2. Glogs- If your digital portfolio is going to be a sampling of your glogs, you can select no more than three to submit for your grade. The text of your email should include what each glog is about, how they reflect your own personal style and view on the content. Identify what statement each glog is attempting to make. Finally, I think that you can include some detail about what you think is an area where improvement is needed in your grasp of glogging. This paragraph can be in the email test, and should also include the glog addresses in the email.
3. Moodle Posts- You will be composing a powerpoint presentation for this one. Select six of your best posts on Moodle. Your first slide should give an overview with your name in the title frame, or broad explanation, of what posts you have selected from which topics. This can be in the form of a table of contents or a paragraph/ bulleted narrative. Then, each post will receive a slide. I would suggest you choose the layout of the two columned slide from the slide layout. For each slide, take a snapshot of the comment and insert that into one column. In the next column, explain why you selected this comment, what about it reflects "quality posting," what about it reflects "you," and why you think this comment enhances the dialogue. Complete thoughts through bullets are fine. Please make sure you select appropriate background and font design. You will also need to develop an innovative title for each slide's quote and an icon for each slide will be needed. Anything over six posts will be deemed as extra credit. The minimum amount of slides for this ppt would be seven. You will be emailing me the Powerpoint when you are done. Here is a link on how to make a snapshot on a Mac!
4. Wallwisher Posts- You will be composing a powerpoint presentation for this one. Select six of your best posts on Wallwishers. Your first slide should give an overview with your name in the title frame, or broad explanation, of what posts you have selected from which topics. This can be in the form of a table of contents or a paragraph/ bulleted narrative. Then, each post will receive a slide. I would suggest you choose the layout of the two columned slide from the slide layout. For each slide, take a snapshot of the comment and insert that into one column. In the next column, explain why you selected this comment, what about it reflects "quality posting," what about it reflects "you," and why you think this comment enhances the dialogue. Complete thoughts through bullets are fine. Please make sure you select appropriate background and font design.

All Digital Portfolios have to be emailed to me by Friday night at 9:00.
All best and happy hunting. Don't be afraid to do more for extra credit. Each extra credit digital portfolio can earn you up to 400 points! If you finish early, start working on your Day II of the World War I Exam.
All best.
