 There are many goals in creating this portfolio. I am
using it as my presentation for candidacy as an
Instructional Technology Specialist, and I have used it
in my job as a coach to justify what I have done to work
in that position. It is also a live website that I plan on
continually using to serve as a live and up to date
online resume.
 These are some of the highlights I feel best exemplify
what I have learned (and continue to learn) as an
Instructional Technology Coach.

 Audacity is a free audio recorder and editor
 It is an excellent tool for recording students in a variety
of ways and it is very easy for them to learn to use on
their own.

 As one of the things I had
to do in getting ready for
teaching ActiveInspire to
my staff was place the
faculty in the best setting
possible for them to learn.
 I utilized a modified
version of the Hooper and
