Welcome to the Multimedia@CPH - Spring 2011 Blog. I am the Multimedia teacher at Castle Park High School in Chula Vista, CA. I started teaching Multimedia@CPH in 1998 and have been teaching some form of it ever since. This year, I am teaching Drafting (also since 1998), Multimedia, and STAR (Science Technology And Research) - a part of our Science Innovation Academy (SIA) but currently just a variation of Multimedia.
At a recent meeting with teachers of similar subjects in my district, another teacher and I shared how we do Digital Portfolios with our students. I have been using Wikispaces with my students for about 2 years. The students upload their finished projects and each student has a portfolio page where they link all of their projects. I also use the class wiki to grade their projects and we have a page for each project. You can follow these links to the Multimedia and Multimedia (SIA) sites on Wikispaces.
The other teacher has been using blogs for his student portfolios. There are some advantages to each, so this semester we will use both. It will be my and many of my students first attempt at using blogs.
My initial vision is that students will be posting projects to their blogs. Students could both upload their project and write something about it. This could be very enlightening, especially for mid-project deadline where the student might be asked to explain what they completed recently or what they are planning to do. Additionally, other students could leave comments on the blog. I plan on continuing to use the wiki for the finished portfolio and projects though.
I will use this blog to post samples for my students so they can see how to use their own blogs. Additionally, I may use this blog to post some student work.
I hope this will be a powerful learning experience for all of us.
