Showcasing Project Portfolios - Activity 3

Showcasing My Project Portfolio

110 minutes

The goal of the Portfolio Showcase is to share your final products with your colleagues and to see what they have created. Responding to the individual pieces of the portfolio as they are presented may seem natural. This Showcase, however, is the first opportunity you have to receive feedback in response to your comments on your portfolio as a whole. A formal presentation with time at the end for comments and questions more accurately reflects how a similar activity would work in your classroom. You review each colleague’s portfolio in your Pair and Share group.

The feedback you receive will be more useful and constructive if your group follows these guidelines to ensure a successful showcase experience:

• Save comments, questions, and discussion until the end of the presentation.
  
  
• Use the rubric to guide your overall review as you provide feedback.
  
  
• Use the prompts from the Showcase Feedback Form to guide your feedback and discussion. Focus on content, not just the ICT.
  
  
• Provide both positive feedback and specific suggestions on how to enhance the project and learning.
  
  
• Provide concrete examples in your comments—give specific examples of what areas are effective and specific ideas of how areas could be enhanced.
  

Follow the presenter’s preferences to choose one of the following methods to provide feedback during the Showcase:

• Use the wiki’s commenting feature to provide feedback.
  
  
• Record your thoughts on a subpage in the presenter's wiki:
  
  
  • Create a subpage with your name in the title (such as, Claire's Feedback).
  • Copy the text from the Showcase Feedback Form as a prompt.
    
  • Paste the text into your subpage.
    
  • Record your thoughts on the wiki subpage in response to the prompt.
    
  • Save your subpage.
    
    
• Type your feedback into the Showcase Feedback Form document and then upload it to the presenter's wiki:
  
  
  • Open the Showcase Feedback Form.
    
  • After you record your feedback, save the form as a new document with a unique name. Be sure to include your name in the file name (such as, Claire's Feedback).
    
  • Upload the document to the presenter's wiki.
    
    
• Follow the link in the presenter's wiki to the blog site and provide feedback in a response to the blog:
  
  
  • Copy categories from the Showcase Feedback Form or from the presenter's blog, and paste it into a response.
    
  • Record your feedback in your response and submit it.
    
    
• Fill out a printed Showcase Feedback Form by hand.
