Since October we've been having regular lessons in the library about being a good online citizen. This has formed the basis of our IIT project.
Tina Franzen came in before Christmas and gave the teachers who are involved in the project some training on D2L e-Portfolios. We were then able to co-plan a model presentation in D2L, create some success criteria and insert some artifacts. With our goal being increased digital citizenship, we created a presentation with sidebar topics (tabs) that included Digital Footprint, Safe Online Messaging, Cyber Bullying, Media Collection, and Hot Topics. These tabs will act as an outline for students to gather their own artifacts so that they can create and share a presentation with others in our school.
We have run into some hiccups with the D2L e-Portfolio in that it's not as accessible and as functional as we would like. Having You-Tube blocked for students is also inconvenient when we're asking them to search out their own artifacts, but at least they can watch the video we've embedded.
Our next step was to show the students the model presentation and walk them through how to create their own. We provided them with step by step instructions and a rubric with success criteria for them to follow as they create their portfolios.
