Status Report 1 9/28

At this point, I was thinking about trying to use Weebly for my EP. I have already created a Google Site (made it during the first workshop). I also already created the necessary categories (again thanks to the workshop) and I am in the process of thinking about the extra categories. I honestly think that the two extra categories will be the hardest part for me because I kind of view myself as a plane guy. Anyway, like I said I have a Google Site but I'm thinking about creating a Weebly. I'm still trying to work on my two extra categories. And I am definitely still thinking about a theme.

Status Report 2 10/3

I pretty much gave up the idea of using a Weebly, simply because I am a little more comfortable with using Google Sites. I have created an annotated list of my classes for English Language Arts and Social Studies on a Word document. I guess I shouldn't say that I have annotated the list yet but I do have a list of classes. I have begun to gather my evidences for my categories. For the 21rst Century tools (arguably the toughest category for me since I am terrible when it comes to technology) part I was thinking about using this wiki that I created for Meg's class last year as one of the evidences. I have selected an artifact for content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge but I haven't put them on my Google Site. For content knowledge, I have an a paper that wrote for my Survey of African American literature and then for my pedagogical knowledge I have selected a Unit Plan outline that I worked with Tyler on for a class last semester. I haven't really put much thought into extra categories or my theme yet.

Status Report 3 10/15

I had thought that I an idea of a theme but honestly it is pretty unoriginal for me ( I was thinking about discussing my growth over the years). I still have had no luck with coming up with any two categories. Like I said, I figured that would be the hardest bit for me. I'm not really sure what I want to say about myself (I kind of boring). I have ideas for some artifacts for my collaboration section. I was thinking about using some videos (honestly I'm using a suggestion from Blake) from past projects (TOP, WolfPack Writing Partners). I still haven't put any of my artifacts into my Google Site. I've just been putting them into folders on my computer.

Status Report 4 11/2

I have a few more artifacts. For my pedagogical section I was going to add the Unit Plan I did for my 311 class. For leadership and collaboration I was going to use my SIP plan I did last semester (although I can't find my excel sheet), For 21rst C, I am going to use my New Literacies Video and an assignment in Dipity I did for Social Studies methods classes. I haven't thought of two other categories yet and I don't really have a theme yet. I haven't started putting my artifacts into my site yet either.

Status Report 5 11/28 I have come up with two categories, finally. I had the idea of using Professional Growth as one of my categories. I want to use videos of myself teaching my classes next semester. I was going to ask my cooperating teacher to film me next semester. At least that is the idea. My second category I want to use is related to my reading hobby. I was thinking of creating a bibliography of my reading but that would be a little hard to do. I don't remember half of what I have read and tracking them down would be difficult. Plus I don't think that has much impact. So I think I'm going to create a category for my writing that is related to my reading. I have quite a few papers based on reading that I analyzed or compared or etc. No luck with my theme. I have started to actually put my artifacts into my Site.
