Edfolio - all of your assignments (listed below are to be posted). Under the course Computer as a Teacher's Aide you are to construct a narrative about this class. Each assignment will be a hyperlink within the narrative. When someone views your edfolio account they should be able to understand the course content and context by viewing your course postings.
For example:
In our course we created a Power Point presentation of a virtual trip. The purpose of this project was to explain the various applications and processes for a presentation program.
NB: Power Point was surrounded by quotes which create the hyperlink to your power point production. You will continue on with a narrative for all project work.
This narrative must follow a story line and not be a series of disjointed paragraphs. Remember all class activities have been developed to build on each other. The simple "Mary" wordprocessing file developed to your Journal; your first class list developed into a linked calculating Excel file; and finally the digital photo of yourself was your introduction to graphics which developed into a full Power Point production - nothing was taught in isolation.
