Live Binder

As the semester comes to a close, we had to present our work in progresses which is our Live Binders. These were introduced to us on the first day of class. To me, it is as intimidating as it was then as it is now! Yes, I have been able to figure out how to upload pictures, add hyperlinks to websites, save Google Docs to make it a PDF and the list goes on! Let me tell you one thing...these live binders were A LOT OF WORK!! Here is what my "cover" looks like. For those of you who don't know, a live binder is a website where you can store and showcase all of your work. Having a live binder, or E-Portfolio is very important for teacher candidates. It is a place where you can show future employers lessons, assignments and projects that you have worked on over your career.

                               

This binder gave me headache after headache, but I am proud of all of the effort I put into my portfolio. I am surprised how much work I have done this semester for this class. Each of the tabs in this binder allow you to explore my Resume, my Philosophy of Teaching, Unit Plans and even a simulated EdTPA! It really has it all.

It was nice to see my fellow teacher candidates live binders. Many of us had similar quotes or beliefs or even pictures in our live binders! Each of our binders was different from each others and that is also nice to see. Although, we are all required to have very similar information, it is great to see how we each bring our own to the table!
