WEEBLY E-PORTFOLIO


Winni Cabrera's E-Portfolio


1. Our assignment was to create a web page e-portfolio using Weebly.com. We were to create it using the rubrics provided by the instructor.
2. This webpage can be useful for educators for employment purposes. An e-portfolio may also be shared with students and parents if they want to learn more about you. It may come in handy when you are to do a presentation somewhere and the hosts want to find out information about you for an introduction. In the classroom, I may have students create their own portfolio as a student interest survey to learn more about them and how they learn. Students may have tabs from different subjects. They can post what they learned or what was most interesting for them in those subjects.
3. I plan to update this site in the future when I have more to add. I would use it and start to reference it when I apply for jobs.
4. Weebly is user friendly, but adding stuff takes time as it loads each time.

ElluminateLive & Slideshare: Technology in the SpEd Classroom

Technology in the SpEd Classroom
View more presentations from Winnifred Cabrera.

Presentation Reflection:
1. I thought the audio and visuals worked well - especially with good internet access.  I liked how it was really LIVE!
2. If I had a chance to do the presentation over, I would have learned to be more proficient with other options for moderator priviliges so that I would have been able to publish the site for the PPT and all participants were able to view at the same time I did.
 3. Not viewing the PPT at the Elluminate site was a challenge. I had trouble opening another window to view the PPT and going back and forth between windows - this wasted a lot of time. The Slideshare.net page was unavailable for a period of time, making it difficult to access our PPTs.
4. The most exciting thing I learned was that there are such a variety of ways to use the internet and technology in the classroom-you just have to know where the resources are and how to get them.
