Blog posts are formative and used for self-reflection.
Most of the resources in this e-portfolio are arranged in [Pages]. This entry is a [Post]. So DO NOT “edit” the page. Add a “new” post instead.
Some of the key differences between posts and pages are:
- Posts are timely content part of a series of posts in a blog. Pages are static documents which are not tied to the blog’s reverse chronological order of content
- Pages can be hierarchical, which means a page can have sub pages, for example a parent page titled “About us” can have a sub-page called “Our history”. On the other hand posts are not hierarchical.
- By default posts in WordPress can be sorted into taxonomies Categories and Tags. Pages do not have categories or tags.
- WordPress posts are displayed in RSS feeds while Pages are excluded from feeds.
Posts are a great way to record short reflections on a particular topic. When you are ready to start adding posts to your ePortfolio delete this post and add your own.
In EDUC 394, we will be engaged in regular weekly reflections. Some learning experiences maybe prompted for the Professional Standards webpages, but learning that happened during each week, whether it be a reading, small group discussion, guest speaker, class-wide learning experience, etc., you can choose what learning had impacted or made an impression on you and your future practice as a K-12 educator.
Formative assessment means… to form and inform learning… so consider blog posts as an opportunity to use the e-portfolio platform and writing to reflect, sense-make, and wonder. The focus remains on your learning within EDUC 394 and the UNBC Teacher Education Program.
Success Criteria:
- A weekly 300-500 word reflection on the learning in EDUC 394.
- Describe the experience, what did you learn, and why it matters.
- Add an image, link, or quote to complement the text.
- Be compliant to the Professional Standards for BC Educators.
