=﻿Welcome to Christopher Cooper's ePortfolio! =

I created this ePortfolio especially for my online course, Merging Educational Goals and Interactive Multimedia Online.

It has been surprisingly easy to use many digital tools, and creating a Wiki isn't so tough! I began this course fearful that I wouldn't know how to do anything, but I feel that I can now teach digital tools when assigning IMP's to my own students. As I get more comfortable with the tools, I'll be able to help my students create their own ePortfolios. Therefore, it is meet that I include my VoiceThread project supporting ePortfolios on this wiki's home page.

I'm rather pleased with this. I chose VoiceThread because I plan to use it with my freshman this fall as part of their summer reading projects, and I thought it would be good practice. The presentation is geared towards parents who may be reluctant to allow their children to publish work online, but I think that it can be beneficial for teachers as well. I tried to make my voice sound comforting and conversational. I hate the sound of my own voice--it has a nasal "quality" about it--but I think I succeeded in sounding casual without being unprofessional. media type="custom" key="6690365"
