Appendix FCareer Portfolio Presentation
This is a PowerPoint presentation I developed for use in my Internship Class to present to students the purpose of and process in creating an electronic portfolio.
It illustrates my appreciation for and commitment to providing students authentic activities that will help them develop the skills and foundation necessary for personal success. Further, it demonstrates my ability to utilize technology resources in the teaching-learning process.
Both the creation and utilization of this presentation demonstrates my understanding of the key element standards of ISTE Standards I, II, III, and V; CTTC Standard II; and CCCT Standard I, and II.
