In this Tech Cafe installment you'll hear Dr. Jeanine Staples and Orrin Murray talking about how we might assess multi-modal representations.  We invite you to watch and listen, and post your ideas about what you're doing your self, or what questions you might have.

Many thanks to Stephanie Serriere and Lis Boyer for getting the conversation started with examples of how they are using blogs as a tool for facilitating course interactions, creating conceptual connections across courses, and supporting student reflections. The conversation that followed revealed how important it is for us to be intentional and systematic about the ways in which we communicate professional responsibilities associated with public publishing to our teacher education candidates.

Here are some resources you may find useful if you are interested in further exploration.

1. Lis' blog for SCIED 458

2. Sample portfolio blog from a PDS intern

3. Video recording of the presentation portion of the session
