Introduction

=**Introduction:**=

This portfolio is designed to show my progression towards True North. True North is defined for this class as:
//Full participation in and on communities of thinkers at multiple levels; that is, producing, shaping, conceptualizing, and transforming practices constituting communities of thinkers at multiple levels: individual, group, classroom, cohort, college, and where possible, beyond). Emphasis is on thinking and rethinking the role of technologies, digital and otherwise, in foreign language education, conceived of as fundamentally concerned with language learning as a literate, communicative and languacultural phenomenon.//

//My portfolio gives evidence of progress towards reaching my True North by providing evidence of changes in my thinking. You will see the progression in thought through the activities that I have created. As I became more understanding of the pedagogy behind multiliteracies and more technologically sound the activities I created become more thoughtful and provided more opportunities to learn. My reflections, thoughts and activities became more grounded in the Smart Tech Principles and as a result my activities will have more meaning and benefits for my students. // My portfolio is a selection of activities, reflections and thoughts that were conceived as a result of my experience in the MATSL community of languathinking. In this portfolio there is evidence of what I've accomplished, how I accomplished True North & what I've understood.
