In your WordPress blog, you will create a digital summary of EDCI 339 that demonstrates clear evidence of your learning and how your learning connects to your future learning (Best to be related to psychology) or employment goals. The portfolio will include evidence of your learning from throughout the course which was demonstrated through your individual and pod mandatory and optional activities. The portfolio can be added to your current WordPress blog as an additional page, post, or combination of those. You can add a password to keep this page from public view or keep it open.

It is highly encouraged that you collect evidence of your learning throughout this course in order to contribute to the ePortfolio in stages (weekly) rather than all at once at the end of the course.

The portfolio is a way to make your learning visible. It will be a collection of the digital artifacts that you have created throughout the course, evidence of additional connections/ interactions you have had with other learners and reflections about your learning process throughout this course.

The portfolio will need to include the following components:

Demonstrate evidence of the completion of four different optional course activities plus a reflective summary based on each activity (50 words maximum for each summary) describing what you learned from completing the activity and connecting the activity to the course learning outcomes (that last bit is really important!).

(Note: the instructor said he dropped the requirement to complete optional activities for the project, he will update more details later! )

One updated and revised blog post. Choose one of your blog posts from the four topics that you wrote about in this course and make a copy of it. Based on the instructor and pod feedback, demonstrate how you have made changes and additions to the blog post by expanding upon the original blog (up to 500 words – unlimited digital artifacts can be included but not included in 500 words). Make sure you include a link back to the original post and please include linked (APA 7 or other) in-text citations and a list of references at the bottom of your revised post.. To expand upon your previous blog post, you might want to consider:

- Connect and chat with a current teacher or professional to get their perspective of this topic.

- Reading some additional articles or resources to compare and contrast academic perspectives that further develop your understanding of the topic.
