Electronic+Portfolios+&+Teaching+Toolkits

====As indicated on the seminar syllabus and discussed in class, you will need to choose one or the other to create for yourself this semester. In seminars 4 and 5, you were prompted to be thinking about your choice, but also what components you would want to include in your **MSL Senior Electronic Portfolio** (to represent you as a beginning middle grades ELA/SS teacher and what you know and are able to do as such) or **MSL Senior Teaching Toolkit** (the tools you would want to have and annotate, as well as any contextualized work to demonstrate your teaching abilities).====

Please review the examples provided below and be prepared to discuss characteristics of the electronic portfolios and teacher websites in our next seminar.

 * Categories for your EP** should include //Content Knowledge// (ELA and SS), //Pedagogical Knowledge//, //Leadership and Collaboration//, //Digital Literacy and Technology (or Digital Literacies and Technologies)//, along with categories of your own choosing (e.g., //Service Learning//, //Global Experiences//, //Related Experience//, etc.). In addition, include a copy of your Resume and your Philosophy of Education (addressing teaching middle grades ELA and/or SS in an age of digital technologies). Also, keep in mind that you want to have a theme and design that reflects who you are as a beginning middle grades ELA and SS teacher!
