Description
We will take a look at the key attributes and components of an effective e-portfolio.

Then we will take a look at how Blogger can be used as a tool for evidencing Practising Teacher Criteria ready for re-registration.

Allanah King gave a very thorough presentation about how to Create a Professional Portfolio with Blogger 

It was an opportunity to see how the new STP's (Standards for the Teaching Profession) fir with existing PTC's. here

Allanah gave suggestions on how to integrate and start using the new standards in a professional portfolio.

Another suggestion was to incorporate Teaching as Inquiry into the portfolio, although some teachers do prefer to have them separate and then link when appropriate.

There was a very good example provided of strategies used in teaching as evidence for the PTC/STP here.  This is a template I could potentially use.

But I would like to integrate Cultural Competencies for Teachers of Maori Learners/Tataiako with the STP's so they sit alongside each other.

There was also discussion on ownership of blogs, and it was strongly suggested that teachers should link their own personal gmail accounts to their blog, and to their work (eg google drive). Instructions on how do do that here

Allanah shared her professional portfolio with us as an example
