3/31/15 (M Dudiak) Personal section: looks great. What are the attached documents at the top of your 2 Day Comprehension and Vocabulary Lessons? They look out of place sitting up there. No RN for Insect External Features lesson. Seems like artifacts from Spr 14 don't have as many visuals (pictures, videos, student work) as the ones from other semesters. What are you considering for InTASC 9? You can take off COE Technology. Technology should be evident throughout the artifacts.

3/3/15 (M Dudiak) No changes since 12/16/14? Can you make the adjustments mentioned in January?

1/25/15 (M Dudiak) I like your photos shown on the cover--it would be more personal/professional to add some audio so they get to know you better. Check some artifacts where you have attached documents at the top and then the same doc embedded below (like 2 day Comprehension and continents lesson). Of course, embedded docs are better received. I don't suggest keeping any artifacts from fall 13 as artifacts--especially your field trip letter never implemented. RN s need to be included for all artifacts. To make sure your e portfolio is more interactive--consider any videos to bring the artifact alive. Looks like you should keep in mind areas you need artifacts when in your student teaching rotations to help fill in the blanks.

8/18/14 (MDudiak) The layout and organization of your portfolio looks effective. Remember though that the reflective narratives should come first and then your lesson/artifact, followed by any supports or evidence like videos, photos, student work. Your goal will be to add to the well organized portfolio and balance it with a more creative and engaging look and feel.

Obviously you are going to have more artifacts to pick from in your senior year semester. Remember to be taking pictures and saving or scanning student work to use in your portfolio. Keep it up.

5/14 (LShiffman)

Great to see 10 artifacts across many standards. Check to make sure you can move down the reflective narratives. I had trouble doing this. Continue to add more work samples pictures, slides, etc. 4/8/14 (L. Shiffman)

Your personal section is complete. Just be sure you have entered the revised letter of acceptance to Towson. You already have 4-5 artifacts with reflective narratives. Remember to put the RN before the artifact and to make any revisions necessary based on instructor feedback. Minor detail... be sure to put the semester on your Interactive Reading artifact. I know you are planning to revise your video and add some pictures, etc. that will engage those that look at our portfolio.

Keep up the great work.

1/10/14 (MDudiak) Personal section: I liked learning more about you on your video. You shared appropriate details and information about your quest to be a teacher. The quality was a little off--you sounds a bit jumbled. Glad to see your personal section is complete.

Professional section: Happy to see you are embedding your documents. Good start on writing your reflective narrative but you might need to review the RN criteria. They don't follow the required criteria. Keep up the good work.

Please make any updates or changes before the spring semester starts.
