E-Portfolios are coming

In recent days you have been gathering your work and digitizing it in your LA and Social Classes.  This week we need to upload your files and add them to your e-portfolios.  But first a brief refresher course.
Sargent Park 2012 E-Portfolios can be found here. You will need to log into wikispaces to be able to edit your pages. 

When arriving at the homepage please click your room image and you will be transported to your room page.  At your room page you now need to find your name on the left hand side. 

Now you are at your e-portfolio home.  Each of your subjects needs to have content added to its section.  We will start with We Day.  Under this heading you need to embed the following things, your Google Presentation, your First Draft and finally your Final version of your movie.  To embed you need to do the following.

• Click edit at Wikispaces
• You now will have a tool bar ontop of your page
•   This widgit button is key to embedding items into your wiki.  
• To embed your Google Presentation please open your Google Docs and find your presentation.  Click the share button to get the embed code. Copy this to your clipboard.  
• In wikispaces once the widgit button is pressed you go to "other html" paste the code into the box and press OK.  Then save your wiki.
• Go to youtube and get the same code for your video.  
• At Wikispaces click the widgit button again and this time go to Youtube.  Here paste in your embed code for your video.  Now you have 2 things embedded at the wiki.

Day One is now done.  Wait till you hear about Day 2!!

2 Minutes to Make a Difference 2012 First Drafts

Congratulations to many of you for completing the first draft of your movie projects.  The rubrics that they are being marked on are located from these links:
Production and Direction Rubric
Content Rubric

Here is a movie playlist with all the spmathgr8 movies so far this year. 



Please comment on as many movies as you can.  When commenting on the movies provide positive feedback on what would make the movie better.  You all have spent many hours on this project.  Many of you have fantastic artistry and skills that need to be shared.

• One model for leaving comments is 3 stars and a wish.  The three stars are great parts about the movie, the wish is something that needs to be improved upon.
• Another comment model is to choose parts of the rubric and watch a few videos.  Then comment on based on the criteria you have chosen to specifically comment on.  i.e. What is the issue? This is the first criteria on the content rubric.  The issue is clearly communicated early in the movie. Essential background information provided. These criteria are how a person gets 5 marks.  If you think that they have accomplished this then say that they have done this well.  If you know they are lacking this part of the rubric then ask them to be more specific when doing their final version.

The more comments people receive the better the movie projects will be.  I hope you find time to comment and then to revise your movie by next week.

Fantastic job so far.  Continue working hard.
