Learning Habits 2/23/18

1. Perseverance, like I said before, is something I believe I excel in. Examples over the last two weeks include continuing my commute after an incident with a rude driver.

2. One intention/goal I would set for myself is to initiate to get work done as quickly as possible.

Classroom Citizenship

Perseverance is something I feel like I excel in. When I am struggling both in school or out of school I still choose to stick with my choices and keep going. I am good at making creative solutions for my problems when thing are kind of harder than they should be. I keep my determination for all the things I try to get done that is beneficial for me and my future. I am very helpful and I do not go against my ideals.

My Eye Drawing

This is a picture of my eye along with a drawing of it that I made. This was done for my Art class and I drew it with advice from Rohan. We would use the picture of our eye and recreate it using value pencils. At the end we would be given Ipads and create a colored version of our eye. Since this picture is not completely up to date I would like to add eyelashes and more value to this eye drawing.

Welcome to your digital portfolio!

Welcome to your brand new digital portfolio/blog at blogs.lrei.org!

Your portfolio can be used for many things through out your middle and high school years, including:

  • Documenting and reflecting on your learning, passions, and interests, both in and out of school
  • Curating and highlight work for your Family Conferences
  • In some instances, your teachers will ask you to submit, reflect and comment on work in this portfolio

It is our hope that you also seek to make this a personally relevant learning space in which you curate work that is important and meaningful to you. As you build this learning space, we also hope that you will use it as a way to connect with other learners in the LREI community and beyond.

Your LREI account (Mail, Docs/Drive) credentials will automatically get you into your blog. Here are a few things you’ll want to take a look at:

1. Change the name of your blog. To do this, go back to the Dashboard and click on the “Home” symbol, then on “MS Digital Portfolio Template” under “This Blog.”

Blog

In the field for “Site Title,” add a new title. You can use your first name if you want (e.g., “Mark’s Digital Portfolio”), but don’t use your first and last name. You can also create a title that doesn’t have your name in it. Be as creative as you want, but keep in mind that the title should relate to the purpose of the portfolio.

After you’ve added a new title, click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the page.

 

2. Add a Post

For the most part, you’ll be adding items to your blog as posts. To add a new post, you can click on the +New button in the top bar of your blog, and then select “Post.”

You’ll want to give each post a title, and assign it to a Category. These categories are broken down by class and grade (e.g., fifth grade, core, etc.). This will allow you to organize and sort information so that you can control the look and feel of your blog. If you take a look at the menu bar under the blog title, you see the different groups of categories (e.g., class, grade, teacher, etc.).

When you’re done with your post you can click “Publish” on the side to make the post appear on your blog
