Introduction to the blogfolio

The blogfolio is a collection of classwork that I have done over the period of the semester. It is like a class portfolio but using a blog. Before entering IT365, I had never wrote a blog. I have learned so much about technology in this class.

We have done several assignments throughout the semester. Each of the assignments are part of my blogfolio. The first assignment we completed was writing a blog. We can use these in the classroom to communicate with parents and students. We made a concept map using the Inspiration software. This is a great tool when teaching your children who are visual learners. We used a variety of web tools. We made a class rubric,an online quiz, a worksheet, and a puzzle. Each of these tools can be used in the classroom in various ways. Another neat thing we created was a website. The website will be very beneficial in the classroom because it can let parents and students know what is going on in the class. We used Assistive Technology. These tools are great to use for students with disabilities. Also included in the blogfolio is a program called Turnitin. This program detects plagiarism. The last assignment included is the video assignment. Using a video in the classroom is very helpful because students learn better with real life things.
