Our assignment was to create an electronic professional portfolio. We had to describe a little about ourselves, list our experiences, educational background, awards, travel experiences, hobbies and interest, and create a link to our blog. Educators can create their own webpage and customize it the way they want it to be, such as a professional portfolio. They can share something about themselves with others. It is really useful. I would definately update my site in the future since this is just a few information about me now. What I liked best about using weebly was having the opportunity to create our very own professional portfolio online. Not only can we put information but we can also add pictures, music, and links to our other pages we created. It was a great experience creating our portfolio online.

Multicultural Education and Technology

My presentation was on Multicultural Education and Technology. My presentation was short and simple but I learned a lot while doing the research. I learned that technology can serve as a tool in a multicultural education classroom and it is useful for both educators and students. If I had another opportunity to do it over, I would add more useful information and provide examples of the different technology being used in a multicultural education classroom. The challenges I encountered with this presentation was finding the right information and also uploading it to slideshare. The best thing I learned was that technology is useful in a multicultural education classroom. The classroom are so diverse and nowadays, society is technology dependent.
