Welcome!

This will be the first post to your learning log. Remember, posts are arranged in reverse chronological order, with the newest posts at the top. You might eventually want to copy and paste the content of this post to a new page called "About Me" on your learning log and then delete the original post.

The easiest way to add your video is to upload to YouTube and then link to it, which would embed the video on the page. Experiment with what works best for you.

Share this post with your Class G+ circle. After this, simply share with the Public, so that you can gain a wider audience for your work.

Don't forget to add the hashtag #edtech501welcome to the comment box when you share it to G+ from Blogger.

Elements of EDTECH

Please post your reflections about each artifact as a new post to your learning log. Embed, link to, or include your artifact in each post. Make sure if you are linking to a Google Drive file that it is visible to the public.

TIP: You can easily check visibility of any Google Drive file by logging out of your Google account, then navigate to your learning log post.

Add labels to each of your artifact posts, including the AECT Standard as listed on the syllabus. Also include a course tag (501).

As you continue in this program, you will have a complete record of your work and will easily be able to transform this site into your final showcase portfolio.

Use your learning log to record any additional reflections or projects you are working on in your profession. There are often opportunities for you to use work completed outside of the course in your final portfolio.

In this example post, I have added the labels for AECT Standard and the course number. Make sure you add the label widget to your learning log layout.

Finally--one last word of advice--although this is a blogging interface, do not write as if you were posting to an informal journal. This site should reflect your professionalism and the purpose--a record of your work in the EDTECH program.
