Communication Needs of Aboriginal Children and Families
Thanks to Dr. Jan Hare for her lecture on addressing the needs of aboriginal learners in our classrooms.
Jan recommended the Alaska Native Knowledge Network as a source of information on aboriginal education.
eFolio Primer
Thanks to Devin, Christian, and Shaun for their presentation on eFolios. You can see an earlier post for links to the files they were using. The one other item they used is the What the !$@% is an eFolio? Prezi and that can be found here.
The more you work with your blog, the more comfortable you will become with the functionality of WordPress. To see sample ePortfolios completed by former TCs and access a wide variety of ePortfolio resources, you can check out the ePortfolio Resources and Links page on the UBC TEO website.
Finally, Kat asked about having the tool used to assess your completed ePortfolio. I hit up my inside sources (EDUC 480 instructors from previous years) and they produced a copy of a checklist they use. Here it is as a PDF:

EDUC 315 Reminders
– Tuesday Lessons: Please submit your lesson plan – hopefully 24 hours in advance of when you deliver the lesson – and your post-lesson reflection to both your SA and I. Seeing as I won’t, most likely, be seeing you teach, I would like to see what you taught and get your thoughts on how it went.
– Teacher Timetable: Please get a copy of your teacher’s timetable for yourself and for me. You will need it so you know when you’re teaching during the two-week prac and I will need it so I know when to come watch you teach in January and during the long practicum. Here’s an example of a timetable so you know what I’m looking for:
– REVISED Use of Student Images Consent Form: I’ve fixed up the form to make it more clear. Please see the previous post dedicated to this topic.
Mictorteaching Prep
Not much time was left, but it appeared that some of you took time to collaborate with your group members and discuss your upcoming Microteaching lessons.
I reminded you of the following items pertaining to the microteaching task:
- You have a maximum of 20 minutes to present
- You need to hand me a hard copy of your lesson plan the day of your presentation
- Your presentation will be videotaped
- You will view the videotape – individually or as a group – and analyze your lesson. Your analysis will be sent to me.
- Your teaching will be assessed using the rubric on the task handout. The rubric focuses on the 7 components of Lesson Design.
Later alligators.
