Using a portfolio

1 . What do you see in the future in regards to technology and educational technology?
2. If you were granted $20,000 to use in your school for educational technology, how would you use it?

---In the future, the technology will more and more advanced and important for people. It becomes a trend in the world definitely. Students will bear of a technology world; they will learn and play a lot of things by using technology, like: online game, searching on internet and so on. So, we will also learn a lot of technology on teaching students to attract them in the class. Now, there are many educational technologies around us. As we can teach students in the computer classroom, teach them how to use the tools step by step, just like: Dr. Stacey taught us on the class. I believe that the technologies will the most trends in the world. Therefore, we should study hard to follow the trending and we can teach our students more and more.
If I have us$20,000 to use in my school for educational technology. First, I will buy a lot of useful software, because students should learn many tools not using single software. Next, I will device the Wimba on the school’s homepage. If students forgot the content of class. They can find the records on the webpage.
Then, I will invite the authoritative teacher on the educational technology to teach our teacher. Let our teacher can learn a lot of technology’s skill. They can teach their students.
Finally, I will renew the computer which was old enough, because I want to our students can study in the good and comfortable environment.
3. How would you use a portfolio (think about grants, raises, changes in position, like the building techie, etc.
4. What would you or have you included in a portfolio -- think back to the one you needed to create for Undergrad and/or to get your current job (this can be paper or electronic or
a combo)
--- At Guiding Actitive. I created a professional teaching and learning plan for three grades in junior high school. There was included Self-exploration, interpersonal relationship, career planning…etc. It must be suitable with students. According to” the standard “ability target”, “Careering planning”, “Integration aims”, from the education of Taiwan. I am a counseling teacher. I wanted design teaching and learning dossier for a small group. I often used excel. Recording mental test, mental scale, and mental accommodations…etc. I used Graphics after the ending of mental test. Students could see easily from Graphics, and compared with relationship each other. Students could understand easily all of many occupations from video in the class. I would use the Video Audio. It can help me teaching more efficiency. And took it easily for teaching. I created a lesson plan profolio.I I created a feedback’s lesson plan portfolios. I created a group’s lesson plan portfolios. So I created a ppt’s lesson plan portfolios. All of them were complicate. All of them would be designed. So all of plans wanted be discussed. So It saved in my big portfolio.Porforlios would play an important role. We have the “teaching comments” in Taipei city. All of teachers must be attending in these” teaching comments”. So all of teacher’s Portfolios would be exhibition. My students have created a “career portfolio” for keeping three years. It is important in the last years. I will show some information for parents in Guardian symposium. There is personal information, score information, the growth of health, recording mental test, mental scale, and mental accommodations. I use Graphics after the ending of mental test. Students could see easily from Graphics, and compared with relationship each other from data. When they applied for senior high school. Students can take it from their Portfolios. They can take the information easily. I would divide many Categories in my Portfolios. They could get the development process during school. When they needed get jobs for some poor. Practice teacher will come to my school for learning teacher every year. I am an experienced teacher over 20 years. The Director of my school hope I can teach them. I promise it. I show my presentation in my class for them. Also I can show my Portfolios for them. It can help the Practice teachers. They can enter into teacher field easily and faster in the second semester.

For a special student.

Using of the software tools for my students with special needs. Now, I find one piece of Assistive Technology (AT), the web address-
http://www.hkedcity.net/
There is much software. These games have funny for special students. I chose one of them---the math. It is requisitioned for a construction project's games. It can decrease the student to the study resistance. So I will design lesson plan for the student of difficulty wrong understanding after I analysis the ability’s level of student. This student can’t count exercise problems. So the teaching of the math will be separated into 2-5 steps. First, I use the multiplication map. If the student can remember one of the multiplication map. He can play the easy’s multiplication from the Primary game. Then I design the easy worksheet for take a test. I am certainly sure he will pass the test. I will give the present that he likes it. I encourage him every time. Until he can do exercises correctly, (He already remembers all of multiplication map,) then I teaching the operating multiplication. And use the operating multiplication from computer. The last one is the application of multiplication. Then he can play difficult unit. It attracts you the child to study each game by the game to have the different degree on own initiative. Maybe he learns slowly. But I believed he can improve his multiplication’s ability.
