I need all the steps. 

The portfolio you submit on Digication at the end of the semester is like a record of your achievements and a sample of your best work; think of it as a set of documents that demonstrates what you can do, what skills in writing you possess. Often, jobs that involve a substantial amount of writing will request just such a portfolio of your best work as part of the job application or interview process, and a portfolio is also part of the application package in other areas of employment: employers always want to see what your best work in any area looks like.

So think of the portfolio in exactly that light: it is an opportunity for you to show off what you can do, what you have learned, where you have improved and where you still see room for improvement. The Final Reflection Essay that you will write for me and submit here on Blackboard will allow you to tell me about all of these things; it functions as the cover letter and discussion of your portfolio as a whole. Essentially, your assertion in the Final Reflection Essay is this: “Here are the skills and knowledge I have acquired and here is the evidence that I have acquired these skills and this knowledge.” The evidence you present will be crucial, and you should draw on sources issuing from the course to find that evidence – your notes from peer-group discussions and peer reviews, my evaluations of the formal essays, revisions of your work, and above all excerpts from the three major writing projects that you include in the portfolio.

Your Final Reflection Essay should offer a coherent discussion (in about 1,000 words) of what you learned about your writing in this course, where you improved, what you want to continue improving in the future; like other assignments, the Essay, too, should be written in a 12-point font like Times New Roman, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins; please also include your full name, ASU ID, course name and section ID in the top left corner, and insert page numbers!

Technology Changes Everything

This assignment provides another opportunity for you to evaluate a variety of digital and assistive technologies for supporting diverse learners. For this assignment, you will create a presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint or other presentation software of your choice. To prepare for this assignment, it is recommended that in addition to reading Edyburn (2013) Chapter 1 that you also review the Week One Instructor Guidance. Additionally, be sure to view the TEDx Talks (2012) video Can Technology Change Education? Yes!: Raj Dhingra at TEDxBend. While you watch the video, pay particular attention to the story Dhingra tells about the Firefly Mobile Learning Bus utilized in Turkey and how students are connecting to technology for teaching and learning in rural parts of the world. 

Next, watch the Conscious Educating (2011) video Microsoft Vision of the Classroom of the Future, which shows how technology might affect a classroom in the future while considering how much technology has changed in such a short period of time. Finally, watch the TED (2010) video The Child-Driven Education, in which Sugata Mitra discusses how the best teachers and the schools that need them the most can connect through effective use of technology.

The purpose of this assignment is to showcase how technology has evolved with regard to teaching and learning and to show the influence it has on supporting all learners and encouraging student independence. The videos listed above provide numerous examples to inform the presentation requirements. It is recommended that you take some time to consider what will occur in the Week Six Final Project and how the work completed in this assignment could inform the Final Project. Create your presentation using the content and written communication instructions below. Use the Grading Rubric to review your presentation before submission to ensure you have met the distinguished performance for each of the components described below. For additional assistance, review the Week One Instructor Guidance and, if needed, contact the instructor for further clarifications using the “Ask Your Instructor” discussion forum.

Implementation means that the plan — the design, the summary of our best thinking — is now ready to become a fact. All of the key players need to know what the plan calls for. The organization needs to release the resources that are necessary to make the plan happen. 

Make sure you use adequate, credible and reliable APA source citations to support your work.
