Presentation from a workshop at the Episcopal Academy Innovation in Teaching 2015 conference in Philadelphia, PA. The workshop's goal was to take participants through a more complete, though still abbreviated, maker-centered learning experience as would normally be done in a classroom with students.
This workshop aims to help participants develop their personal brand through a series of exercises and assessments. It covers topics like defining personal branding, understanding one's authentic self, developing networking skills, and curating an online portfolio. The workshop is divided into sections that address key branding concepts and can be completed systematically or by focusing on specific skills. Participants will need a ring binder or electronic folder to compile their work and track their progress using embedded self-assessments throughout the workshop.
10 things you can do now to get a media jobBonnie Gross
This document provides 10 tips for students to get a job in media in the future.

Provocations - Designing Experiences to Nurture Innovation and CreativityJames Tiffin Jr.
One goal of maker-centered classrooms is to have students make purposeful and imaginative creations. A more important goal is to develop the maker mindsets that help them to continually do so on their own - to become innovative if you will. The burden of coming up with project ideas needn't be the teacher's, but can instead be the students'. The teacher's responsibility becomes creating conditions in which children's innate imagination and curiosity can lead to creative and innovative outcomes. But this isn’t as straightforward as one might think. In fact, it is actually quite challenging, especially when you consider the material and tool options available (or not available) in schools. The workshop will share pedagogical practices that have been developed and used by veteran #MakerEd educators in their own classrooms, which span PS-12 settings. Participants will leave the session equipped with a framework that can help guide them via a more intentional planning approach to designing maker experiences. But this isn’t a sit-and-get course. Participants will make their way through a number of experiences designed using this framework to give them playful opportunities to explore new possibilities. Come ready to build, both physically and mentally!

One Point Per Slide – Why It’s Important and How to Do ItStinson
PowerPoint presentations have come a long way from bullet points and ClipArt. Presentations have evolved with not only the presenter and the audience, but also our preference to be moved and not sold to. One of the biggest presentation trends is having only one point per slide. Check out our presentation to see why having only one point per slide is important!

PowerPoint 2013 comes with 23 color themes ready be applied to your presentation and and your graphics, regardless of what presentation template you are using.
This is a quick guide of the PowerPoint 2013 color themes.

The document provides five design principles for creating slides that effectively communicate messages to audiences:
1. Focus on the main message you want the audience to remember.
2. Keep designs simple with less text and only 1 main point per slide.
3. Use interesting fonts instead of boring standard ones to engage audiences.
4. Include high quality images that visually represent the message.
5. Choose a color scheme that fits the theme and works cohesively.
The document provides examples of standard, boring presentation templates and encourages the creation of unique, visually appealing templates instead. It emphasizes using fewer words and more images per slide, varying fonts and colors, and breaking content into multiple slides to keep audiences engaged. Inspiration sources like design blogs and galleries of infographics and slide designs are recommended for making impactful presentations that attract and impress audiences.
This document provides tips to avoid common mistakes in PowerPoint presentation design. It identifies the top 5 mistakes as including putting too much information on slides, not using enough visuals, using poor quality or unreadable visuals, having messy slides with poor spacing and alignment, and not properly preparing and practicing the presentation. The document encourages presenters to use fewer words per slide, high quality images and charts, consistent formatting, and to spend significant time crafting an engaging narrative and rehearsing their presentation. It emphasizes that an attractive design is not as important as being an effective storyteller.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.

1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.

How to Build Your E-Learning Portfolio
1. How to Build Your E-Learning Portfolio

2. I’m going to give you some ideas for how to build your portfolio…

but first, some questions!
???
3. The Importance of the Portfolio

• Highlights capabilities
• Acts as a visual resume
• Increase job offers
4. Common Challenges

• My work samples are controlled
goods/I’ve signed an air-tight
Non-Disclosure Agreement.
• But, I don’t have time to create a
portfolio…
• Where do I begin?!
Hello, Everyone! I’m Ashley Chiasson, an Instructional Designer and Consultant with about 6 years of professional experience. Today I’ll be talking about how to build your e-learning portfolio!
I’m going to give you some ideas for how to build your portfolio, but first I have some questions for you!
By a show of hands, how many of you have an e-learning portfolio?
Have you ever been asked to share work samples and/or your portfolio?
In my opinion, there are three main reasons why having a portfolio is important:
Your portfolio highlights your capabilities, specifically with visual technologies;
It can act as a visual resume; have you ever had a Subject Matter Expert review your Word storyboard and they just ‘can’t visualize’ it? You know that the next phase is developing the content and media assets, but the SME just can’t get past the storyboard phase…This problem is similar to the one prospective clients encounter when trying to visualize how you and your abilities could work for them and their needs;
And it can lead to an increase in job offers. Once prospective clients can SEE what you’re capable of doing, their confidence in your abilities will increase, potentially leading to more job offers and money in the bank!
Once I began to build up my portfolio (which is still pretty sparse, to be honest), I saw a dramatic increase in the amount of prospective clients I had. Over the past four months, I’ve been able to reduce the amount of hustling I do and have been more selective, focusing on working with clients that I’m passionate about doing work with instead of scooping up anything and everything I can just to pay the bills. Therefore, I would consider investing time in building my portfolio to be a direct correlation with an increase in my quality of work life and overall job satisfaction.
Building your portfolio can be challenging, I get it.
Maybe you aren’t legally allowed to share your work samples
Maybe you just don’t have time
Maybe you don’t know where to begin
My hope is that by the end of this session, you’ll have some ideas and be inspired and motivated to work on your own e-learning portfolio.
Before taking the leap into full-time independent contractor-ship, I knew that I needed some sort of portfolio. I had been freelancing part-time for several years, and was getting tired of the “can we see your portfolio?” question. At the time, I had a full-time job, and all of my coolest work samples were classified as controlled goods; I wasn’t able to share any of my professional work, and I felt defeated. I had worked for this organization for over five years and couldn’t take away any of my best work to use in a portfolio?!
Then I slapped myself in the face, got serious, and created my first two samples. The first was a tabbed interaction with hotspot popups designed to teach you how to bathe a cat. I’m a crazy cat lady, and when in doubt, go with what you know! I didn’t really know how to bathe a cat, but wikihow came to the rescue with some hilarious illustrations, and that simple tabbed interaction is still a hit with clients. The second was inspired by all of the small business books I had recently read; I wanted to share brief reviews, so I created a hotspot-based interaction that linked to brief book reviews contained within scrolling panels. Both of these samples were very basic in terms of technological prowess, but they were the launching pad for my portfolio.
Moral of the story: When feeling defeated, challenge yourself to be creative!
The E-Learning Heroes Weekly Challenges, prompted by David Anderson, are a great way to build your portfolio. Each week, David posts a new challenge and asks participants to think creatively and give their best shot at addressing the challenge.
Participants link to their submissions and users can provide comments. The E-Learning Heroes Community is a supportive environment, and comments tend to be positive or constructive in nature. The weekly challenges are a great way to see what your peers are capable of doing and get ideas for how you can apply similar approaches in your future projects.
I’m going to briefly show you some weekly challenge submissions from some of the E-Learning Heroes, and links to the full interactions and the individual’s website are provided on your worksheet.
My portfolio has grown considerably since I began participating in the weekly e-learning challenges – While I haven’t been able to participate in every challenge – yet, I’ve contributed when time has allowed.
The greatest praise I have for the weekly challenge is just that; it challenges me to think outside of the box and create interactions I may not have previously considered creating!
Jackie Van Nice is a regular participant in the weekly e-learning challenges; while her portfolio has many samples from work she’s done for clients, she has been able to elevate her portfolio by including creative samples using Articulate Storyline. Her German drinking game template was even featured in another weekly challenge, challenging participants to steal her template and create their own games!
Gemma Henderson always ups the ante when she participates in the weekly challenges. Her entries are always visually engaging and forward thinking. She always makes an effort to step outside of the box to create engaging interactions that will delight her audience, and, in my opinion, these challenge entries have given her personal portfolio a creative edge.
For some, building out your portfolio may seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t need to be difficult!
Before becoming an Instructional Designer, I dabbled in web design. For me, it seemed easiest to display my portfolio on a website. I chose to go the self-hosted WordPress route, and tend to incorporate my portfolio pieces into blog posts to give my readers more of a behind-the-scenes look into my process.
However, there are several E-Learning Heroes who have developed portfolio templates, and for anyone working in Articulate Storyline, these templates are a great way to populate your portfolio with minimal effort on your part! The first template was developed by E-Learning Hero Paul Alders and the second was developed by Allison Nederveld. Links to these templates, and their individual websites, have been provided on your worksheet. Both of these templates allow users to easily create a visual resume, including a section to house your portfolio or work samples!
Hopefully you now have more clarity as to why an e-learning portfolio is so important and how you can easily create one – remember, your portfolio can provide you with the freedom to choose work you’re most passionate about, so don’t sleep on creating one!
I look forward to seeing some new participants in the weekly challenges and to seeing some new portfolios.
