Purpose of Portfolio

The purpose of this electronic portfolio is to showcase accomplishments from January 2008 to April 2009 that have helped me grow as person, a teacher, and one who is more technologically literate.

Each of the projects in this portfolio has been chosen based on meeting the criteria of the University of West Georgia COE descriptors and the NETS standards.

The projects and compositions were chosen because they are a record of how I am preparing my students for the world in which they are expected to thrive.
