Telefolio
CONTEXT: I created a web-based portfolio, or telefolio, in an Integrating Media and Technology into Teaching course, instructed by Jeff Goodman at Appalachian State University. IMPACT: The telefolio contains work I completed during my enrollment at Appalachian State University as an Elementary Education major, primarily concentrated on work produced during my final semester of school. The telefolio showcases such projects and assignments as a modern fashion and invention activity, a media literacy ethnography, a literature circle unit, a textbook evaluation, a math lesson, and a software review. Each artifact in the telefolio is also aligned with either the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers and/or the INTASC Standards. Furthermore, my teaching philosophy and resume is included in the telefolio. The telefolio is a useful resource since it displays my work in an accessible way. It is also beneficial to potential employers, who may want to view and evaluate my work and abilities when being considered as a prospective teacher. ALIGNMENT: The telefolio serves as
an artifact that meets goals IA and IB of the National Educational Technology
Standards for Teachers. Through construction of the telefolio, I
showed a mastery of basic technology skills, such as the use of Microsoft
Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and the access of multiple Internet resources
(IA). In addition, the telefolio that I have done shows that I have
mastered emerging technologies, such as the use of Netscape Composer for
web page construction, the use of Macintosh’s imovie in video production,
and the use of digital cameras and scanners to capture and insert photographs
into projects and productions (IB).
