What is a E-portfolio?

      A portfolio is a collection of work developed across varied contexts over time. The portfolio can advance learning by providing students and/or faculty with a way to organize, archive and display pieces of work.
      The electronic format allows faculty and other professionals to evaluate student portfolios using technology, which may include the Internet, video, and animation. Electronic portfolios are becoming a popular alternative to traditional paper-based portfolios because they offer practitioners and peers the opportunity to review, communicate and assess portfolios in an asynchronous manner. 

     Most people are familiar with student portfolios, however, higher education institutions are starting to create departmental and institutional portfolios as a means for evaluating student learning on a more global level. Institutional portfolios provide a means of assessing the impact of the entire educational experience on student learning. They can be used to drive internal improvement and external accountability. Like student portfolios, they allow for internal improvement and external accountability, but on the level of the whole institution.

Intro to Agapay's E-Portfolion

This E-Portfolio in Educ 216 is another innovative portal for us students to learn more about to the new methods, strategies and techniques in integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in our lessons. This portal presents a forthright state-of-the-art 21st Century skills in developing the higher order thinking skills and multiple intelligences of the students.

Join me, Richard Astilla Agapay, with my new friends, as we venture into an astonishing way of learning in the cyber world that will surely help us achieving our noble dreams.

Normal Probability Distribution


Present by: Chellyn Dalut
                Chellyn was one of my classmates in some subject we took during our undergrad years in MSU General Santos City. Back then, Chellyn was known to be very serious and good when it comes into reporting. She really find time to study her report properly so that she can convey this to our classmate correctly.
                Her topic was all about the Normal Probability Distribution. With the help of powerpoint presentation. Chellyn showed to us the definition, formulas and the way of calculating the normal curve. She also Included in her report about the Divergence normality, the Kurtosis and Skewness.

Statistical Estimation & Sampling


Presented By: Marmaee C. Pilapil
Marmaee or “bok” is my co-teacher at Lagao Central Elementary School. She’s known to be good in computer and artistic when it comes into presentation and designing school program and tarpaulins. She presented her report with a very unique design of power point presentation. Although the topic is quite difficult, she managed to explain this in a very easy way.
                Her report was all about Statistical Estimation and Sampling. We understand properly the procedure of how to get and calculate the number of samples in a given population for your research. The reporter also answers the questions raised by our classmate properly. Keep up the good work bok.

Focus on the Normal Probability

Presented by: Clarence Baron
              
           Clarence shows a very well-motivated mood in presenting her presentation. She has a very amazing slides which general caught our attention. Her topic involves diagrams/graphs that show the characteristics of a Normal Curve.  She discussed it form the simple to a more complex ideas. During the presentation, we enjoyed a smooth communication with the reporter. Questions was also addressed properly.

Simple Regression


Presented by: Rosemarie F. Delos Reyes

It is quite amazing to see people striving to learn and align himself/herself to the new trends of education coupled with technology. I am talking about my classmate Ma’am Rosemarie Deles Reyes. For her “Age doesn’t matter” in learning. First and foremost, she confessed to us that she only have a little knowledge about the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) being integrated in the teaching and presenting her report.
             On the first part of her report, she introduced to us the definition and the formulas used to calculate Simple Regression. Then, we laugh when she distributed the graphing paper. On our mind, using chalk/white board marker and a graphing paper is an old fashion tool used in statistic. But as we perform and activity, we enjoyed solving and in manual way. The experience was very nice.

Simple Correlation

Today is another beautiful day for Statistics lessons. Today’s lesson will be discussed by our Professor, Ma’am Ava. We were very surprised when she told us to prepare our laptop to be used in solving some drills. We listen attentively to our Professor as she gives her instruction.

We were also happy to see our classmates having difficulty manipulating their laptops. But as the goes, they catch up to the lesson and able to solve problem. Lucky I have some knowledge in using the program Microsoft Excel that I was able to help my classmates setting up their laptops.

The discussion was very fine because Ma’am Ava delivers the instruction/lesson slowly but surely.
