Practicum Portfolio

I finally finished my practicum portfolio, and I presented last night!  It is such a relief to almost be finished with my Masters program in Instructional Technology!  It has taken three long years, and many sleepless nights, but the end is in sight!  Please feel free to take a look at my portfolio!  I am proud of all of the artifacts that I included, and I have enjoyed my practicum experience!

PLN Refreshed!!!


As part of my Leadership of the School Library Media Program, I was required to develop a professional learning network.  This PLN could be a collection of blogs, Twitter feeds, websites, podcast, and professional articles.  I chose to look back at the PLN that I had created during FRIT 7234.  I noticed that the blogs that I had followed back in the Spring of 2014 were still updated regularly and contained useful information.  I decided to update my PLN to only include the blogs that were updated regularly, and I added blogs that specifically pertain to media specialists.  I also updated it with a Twitter feed that follows Creative Commons, and added some useful educational websites.  I plan to continue checking my blog and developing it into a more effective professional learning network.
