Using PowerPoint for Digital Portfolios

 

  • A PowerPoint template of a student digital portfolio (template) from Lalor West PS  Lalor West Digital Portfolio Template  (their website can be found at http://www.lalorwestps.vic.edu.au/EIE%20Web/excellence_in_education_resource.htm)PrintscreenLalorWestDigitalPortfolio
  • Tabbed PowerPoint: We are in a Secondary College. We downloaded and am planning to use this tabbed PowerPoint template for our digital portfolios, it has tabs and these can be used for each subject. Each tab can have multiple slides, e.g. some slides containing scanned student work or videos. The site link given here has the template for download, as well as short tutorials for how to edit the powerpoint: http://www.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/heres-a-free-powerpoint-e-learning-template/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+eLearningLearningFull+%28eLearning+Learning+Full+Feed%29TabbedPowerPointFirstPageImage
  • We used templates created in PowerPoint for our portfolios. We had main pages for each subject, with links running off these main pages to the different domains for the subjects (e.g. for Mathematics we had Number, Space, Measurement and so forth). On the first page we had the student photo, and links to the subject pages, as well as a link to a reflective, personal journal page. Students learnt how to ‘scan’ their work by emailing the work to them from the printer (instead of hitting copy, choose e-mail, find the student’s e-mail address, then hit copy and the document will be emailed to the student). We also used the flipcams and inbuilt cameras in the netbooks to make mini movies, which were showcased in their digital portfolios. We had to be careful about not making the movie files too big, as the netbooks have a limited memory. Thus we used a video converter program (Any Video Converter) that we downloaded for free off the internet, to change our .avi and .wmv movies to .mp4 movies before inserting them into the PowerPoints. This ensured that we had a smaller movie. We plan to package the PowerPoints to a CD at the end of the year, so students can take it with them into Secondary College. Packaging the PowerPoints will also ensure the students don’t loose any inserted/embedded movies or documents.
  • Students in Grade 5 & 6 created their digital portfolio using MS Powerpoint. They used their wikispace as a personal online space as a repository for pictures, thoughts and ideas and to communicate via their wiki email with their friends. This opportunity to play in the wiki environment has ensured that when they use their space as a portfolio they will know much of the editing side. 

Using wikis as digital portfolios

 

  •  
    • Students in Year 7& 8 were required to create a space that would become their wikifolio for 2007. These were originally set up in early 2007 during Information Technology classes. Students were required to register via the wikispaces for teachers section which ensured that all students could create a private space. They were also required to invite their teachers to their space so that teachers could see what was being added and give comment and support. We used private wikis for digital portfolios (wikifolios). Here is a link to a real example where the teacher took out the information that can identify the student: http://rose0001.wikispaces.com/ The wikis are set to private so they can’t be viewed by people online, only by those people invited to view the wiki (in our case the student, teacher and parents…and friends in the same classroom, if the student chooses to invite friends to view the wiki.) One interesting thing we did was to have the kids make a Voki to record their goals for the year in their own voices (link: http://rose0001.wikispaces.com/My+Learning+Goals). This student also created an online book to show that she is organize. Read the book here http://rose0001.wikispaces.com/Being+Organised. or here http://www.pimpampum.net/bookr/?id=1684

Using OneNote as digital portfolios

  •  
    • An English teacher in our school are using the (free) Microsoft Office program OneNote (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote/) (which comes with every computer that has the Microsoft Offfice programs) as a digital portfolio. The program is very easy to learn, as uses the same instructions as Word, PowerPoint, etc. The teacher instructed the kids to make a new notebook on OneNote called ‘Student name English’. The teacher then instructed the kids to make different tabs in their English notebook, called Notes, Speaking and Speeches, Reading, Creative Writing Drafts, Creative Writing Good Copies, Poetry, Grammar and Punctuation, Spelling, Research, Alternative Worlds, etc. The kids all have their own netbooks (mini-laptops), so she uses these all the time in class. It would be easy for the kids to make OneNote notebooks for Mathematics (then use tabs called Number, Space, Measurement, Chance, Probability, Algebra, Working Mathematically, Thinking, etc.) Other subjects could each have a new notebook in OneNote. As all the OneNote files are saved and kept (by default) in the computer’s memory in the OneNote folder, you could easily put any work from any OneNote notebook into a teacher’s dropbox as well. You also have the option of exporting your OneNote work in Word or PDF form, and so you can print it or email it or put it online, or use parts of your OneNote work it in other Microsoft programs like Word or PowerPoint.

    One day, Satan was out for a walk through Hell, making sure things were running smoothly. When he got to the Lake of Fire, he saw a man sitting by the lake, relaxing in a lawn chair, and not sweating or looking uncomfortable at all. Perplexed, Satan approached the man and asked:

    “Young man, are you not hot or bothered by this heat?” The man replied, “Oh no, not at all. I lived in downtown Toronto and this weather is just like a typical July day inside the city.” Satan thought that this was not a good sign, so he rushed again to his office and turned up the heat in Hell another 100 degrees. Happy with himself, he again returned to the Lake of Fire to check on the young man.

    When he got there, the man was showing several beads of sweat, but that was all. Again Satan asked the Torontonian, “Are you hot and uncomfortable yet?” The young man looked up and said, “No, the temperature is just like a hot August day in Toronto. I’m coping it just fine.”

    Satan decided that he had to complete something drastic to make this man’s stay in Hell unpleasant. He went back again to his office, turned the heat all the way down, and then turned up the air conditioning. The temperature in Hell quickly dropped well below zero. As he approached the Lake of Fire, he noticed that it was now frozen over. He also saw the Torontonian jumping up and down wildly, waving his arms and yelling into the air.

    “This looks promising!” thought Satan. Coming closer, he finally created out what the man was shouting: “The Leafs have won the Stanley Cup! The Leafs have won the Stanley Cup!”

    I agree with you, your option is in-depth knowledge so much. Wish to get more knowledge from you. What’s more, have a good day and Merry Christmas.

    Knowledge is a comfortable and necessary retreat and shelter for us in an advanced age; and if we do not plant it when young, it will give us no shade when we grow old.

    Venapro repairs and heals tissue that might be have been torn or damaged by hemorrhoids.
    Secondly and most important facet is that a lot of guys and
    women can use this typical therapy process with out disclosing the issues to anybody else.
    The item is backed up by a revenue back guarantee.Is the therapy reasonably priced, so
    that if it does not function then you not substantially of your money is
    wasted.When you surf about the internet for a item that will treat your
    hemorrhoids, you are probably to obtain a lot of them.
    The big answer you would want to know is if it does operate or not.
    Steer clear of foods made with white flour which includes breads, bagels and cakes.
