PROCESS

7. WHILE
BE FLEXIBLE1
Research various options. The ease of PowerPoint and being
short on time was my reason for choosing initially. However, if
you start with a PowerPoint presentation, as I did, and decide
another way is better, do not hesitate to change. Be flexible. I
ultimately chose a website for CREATING
my PDQP project and was able to move my content to
the new format relatively quickly. I was then working in a
format where the layout and presentation made sharing
my ePortfolio with others easier for me. (Blogger)

8. ARTIFACTS
2
Look through your student teaching materials
and coursework projects they are examples that
will come in handy as artifacts.
• Going through the papers I wrote and projects I
created for my teaching credential was a
valuable resource to find ARTIFACTS.
• Remember that when you choose your
ARTIFACTS, you are looking to put your best
foot forward. So brag a little. Share that
phenomenal review.
• Use Google search for resources as
well. Just remember to cite!

9. WHEN IN DOUBT
TURN
TO YOUR
COMMUNITY
3
With regard to professional learning communities, you get
out of the community what you put in. Since a lot of
students were uncertain at the start of the process,
students clung together for support and worked their way
through. A shared burden is an easier load to bear, so
work with your peers!
