__Recall of Prior Learning__
Last week we were all about efficiency and productivity. Before that, we put our creativity to work. As we study assessment and technology this week, you'll see creativity merging with productivity.

__Presentation of Material__
The purpose of portfolio assessment is to gauge student performance based on collected work. Each of you pursuing certification are required by the state to submit a professional portfolio illustrating your growth throughout the program. Other professions rely heavily on portfolios as well. Rather than just going through the motions of submitting your portfolio, think in terms of how you might want to assess your own students' performance in your own classroom using portfolios.

//** Hot Potatoes was mentioned, but I'm not seeing an assignment or anything. Is it installed in our lab? Here is a link t sites created using Hot Potatoes: http://hotpot.uvic.ca/sites6.htm. What else is needed here? **// It is not installed. I think we'll overload them if we actually attempt to teach Hot Potatoes. I'm thinking a basic awareness that it is there.

__Discovery Learning and Performance__
Each student will set up a Wikispace using http://www.wikispaces.com/site/for/teachers. This URL allows set up of a wikispace with no advertisements. Use the Wiki Walk-Through at http://www.teachersfirst.com/content/wiki/ as a guide.

__Assignments and Assessment__
Create a Wiki where you will create a website or a project website for your class. Look to the examples which are given in class. Modify the "look and feel" of your Wiki by adding images, changing colors, fonts, etc.. Submit the link to your Wiki in this Discussion. (Gungoll) I created a different version of the Wiki Portfolio assignment with a little more detail to let the students know exactly what is expected of them. I also am trying out having a class wiki that we link things to outside of D2L. Here are the directions I give my students: You can use it if you wish or let me know if it wont work! (Amanda G)
