555 blog 3

Well I have made good use of our time off in the last couple of weeks and I feel like I have the course work under control. I have been crazy busy with our semester car projects at school and I feel like we are way behind, but I think every spring goes like that. This week I tackled the 3.1 culminating experience proposal and I must say that it was very frustrating at the start because I did not have a clue where I was going, but now I am looking forward to 599. I think I have a great proposal and a good project to put into my classwork and classroom. I am going to explore the Auto Repair Reference Center which is an online resource for automotives. It is full of information on vehicle repair and it will be a great tool for my students. I feel like the end is near for us, but yet so far away!

We are on spring break this week and I am sadly taking the time to do most of my course work. This week I am working on my artifacts and standards for my portfolio. I am very glad that we have used google docs throughout this program as it is very easy to link documents to our portfolio websites. I made an e-portfolio when I was at Stout and I spent a ton of time scanning documents and trying to upload to the portfolio.

This process thus far has gone pretty well. I found the creation of my Google site pretty easy. I have already made all of the pages that I need and I am finishing up with all of the artifacts and reflections to go along with them. I am glad to say that I have found 1 or more artifacts for each class that we have taken thus far and I am hoping to be able to keep up to date as we progress through our last classes. I look forward to finishing this portfolio and this program!
