Workshop offered by The Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence 

Participants can sign up for either or both sessions. Blogging and e-portfolios are often advocated as a way to showcase professional growth, integrate technology into the classroom, and encourage student writing.  This two-session workshop will present participants with tools to create and use blogs and e-portfolios for professional as well as educational purposes. In the Nov. 6 session, we will help participants learn how to set up their own e-portfolios and blogs, using the Blogs @ Penn State platform.  Since this is a hands-on workshop, participants are asked to activate their personal Web space in advance.  Please contact site@psu.edu for details.  In the Nov. 10 session, we will focus on how blogs can be used effectively to promote learning, with a special emphasis on best teaching practices.
