Come up with a question that is framed around what I might learn as I work on this. My potential question to this point: What if I were to include students in the process of reviewing their Assessment results on either Raz-Kids, Evernote or Wikispaces? As I begin to use the technological tools available to me (iPhones, iPods, iPads and Macbooks) and involve my students directly in the process of: goal setting and assessment (as it is recorded using the aforementioned programs) and tighten the 'feedback loop' will the result be a tangible increase in student motivation? ...in surveying students I found that...

The “baseline portfolio” is a snapshot of who you feel you are as a teacher and as a learner as you begin the learning journey of this diploma program. • It is intended to be a marker **from** which you can measure your progress. It is a tool for reflection by which trepidations and hopes for your learning journey are communicated to self, your fellow learners and your mentor. • The Baseline Portfolio should take the form most comfortable to you at the time it is presented. Any form of representation that can be used to hold and present a picture of you as a learner as he or she is acceptable. • Evidence of personal reflection which you as a learner choose to share. These could include at least one: o excerpts from a journal, critical reflections on readings or class events, autobiographical reflections, critical incident narratives, capacity assessments AND/OR o statements about what you hope to explore and your possible diverse learners, and or technology interests for the coming term(s) of the program. • Self reflections about your identity as teacher and learner. Questions which might help frame these reflections are: o Who am I as both a learner and teacher? o What is important to me in my teaching work? o How do I see myself as a teacher researcher? o What is the relationship between my professed aims and my practice? • Statements of beliefs about teaching technology and the place of technology in education. Questions which might help frame these reflections are: o What is my relation to technology as I enter this program? o What are some of my interests, dilemmas and questions concerning educational technology? • Discussion of the learners relationship to the capacities. Questions which might help frame these reflections are: o What are my beginning abilities and strengths in relation to the capacities of this program? o Your self-assessment regarding your relationship to technology • Some statement as to your goals in the program. Questions which might help frame these reflections are: o What do I want to learn? o Where do I see myself going on this journey? o What do I value in my practice, and what do I want to change? Anything that you might think is important to include as a baseline to help you gauge and reflect upon your growth throughout the program.
