Final post for 555 :). EXCITING

The last couple of weeks has been a lot of work for me. Thinking back when I started this class, I was AFRAID!!! I did not know what I was getting myself into, but that is nothing new. I heard portfolio and I thought to myself- OH, Oh. I am lost!!! Nevertheless, after completing my portfolio I am very pleased and excited about it. I found myself showing my mom the finish project and explaining it to her. I forgot my mom has her degree in education already, ha! I hope to use my e-portfolio within the next couple of months applying to jobs and hope that it displays my growth, with no education experience at all. I am very proud of myself.

While doing the final project my choice was a class to introduce succeeding online. Almost like our very first class during this program, but I made it a much longer class. Going through the importance of procrastinating and the importance of being in class is something I mentioned in my time line. I think that there are going to be more online classes versus face to face, so introducing this to children early will be crucial. I am very excited about my portfolio again. I really hope that it shows my growth to others. This class was awesome!


Check out my portfolio- Jessika Bragg's e-Portfolio. What do you think???

555 - 3rd post- getting rough.


Things are becoming more difficult for me right now. Not so the work, but being in contact with the professor. I know she maybe receiving a lot of emails, but I completed my culminating project and I wonder if I did it correctly. I hope Kris talks about that in class.  Picking what to do my project on was not a bad as I thought it was. I really put use of the examples that she provided for us. I just hope things are great and I do not need to make any corrections. However; my portfolio is coming a long, I am just working on each of the standards now and trying to remember different artifacts for each of the classes.  I still need to do my voice part for my introduction, which I already have an intro typed into my portfolio, I am guessing they want to know if we can really do something that we learned in class.


I think there is a lots that need to be done in the class but not enough time. Some teachers maybe on break, but I am still working. So I guess that is one I will have to swallow. For this being my first time doing a portfolio, I am excited about my work thus far.  I hope that everything turns out right and I cannot wait for Thursday class to see what I need to fix or some other helpful ideas we can do together. Finishing the chart in the last class together was helpful. I referred to that presentation, simply because I needed it. Once again, we shall see!

555 Blog 1


So I noticed, I had to do blog 1. Well let me think back to class one in 555. I was very nervous about this class when I saw the title of it and thought to myself , Oh oh this one is going to be a tough class. After being introduced and Kris had a template for us to use, I knew it will be a little easier of me to understand. 


As far as creating a portfolio, I know it will be beneficial for our teaching career experience and I get the concept of it. Versus presenting in front of a board, we are showing our progress electronically due to this being an online class. I know this will be a process for me and more of a patience and understanding thing, but I hope I do not become frustrated or scared about the "level" of my work. 


We shall see!
