This week in ICT, I was not able to join a couple of classes because of conflicting schedules with my daughter. The project I did work on for the class was my Eportfolio. I finished the portfolio this weekend using Weebly. This Eportfolio is going to benefit me in several ways including networking, being the biggest attribute. I can continuously update my Eportfolio as my life and career develops an gain more interest in possible employers. By the employers knowing that I have a fairly sound knowledge in technology and having he ability to create Eportfolios and use other beneficial programs, it will only increase my chances of getting a job. It will give them some in depth insight about myself, my philosophy on teaching, and some of the work I have done during my schooling. These three topics are key because these topics are not always included in a regular resume. It may be a nice change from handing in the same old resume over and over, while my Eportfolio has some nice designs and will catch an employers eye.
Another area I regret missing during ICT was the visit from Jon Finch. I knew of him as he had worked at the DRCSS, the high school I attended through my senior years. While I did not see the presentation, I did go through the LWICT booklet that I received from class. This book was full of interesting concepts. The sections I really focused on in my reading was the section on High Critical and Creative Thinking. This section was exactly what I was looking for, because I do not want to be that teacher who goes on and on about a topic while losing the class in the process. Having the class engaged and interested in the topic at hand by using technology and literacy components will go a long way in classroom engagement and management. This book will be very helpful and I will use some of these strategies from the booklet to help me with my teaching career.
