ePortfolio*******Chalk & Wire
The Social Science Education Program of the USF College of Education (COEDU) is a NCATE, FDOE, and NCSS approved program. For students to have the benefits of such a program, there are special assessment and reporting requirements that students and instructors must meet. A number of required COEDU courses (not courses in other colleges) will have assignments identified as Critical Tasks.
The ONLY process by which you will meet the reporting requirements is the creation of an ePortfolio and you will be required to use the software Chalk and Wire. COEDU offers a full support system of seminars, e-mail inquiries, a walk-in help center, and phone assistance to assist you in learning the system and completing the ePortfolio, see http://www.coedu.usf.edu/main/chalkandwire/index.htm. Also, and most important, please review the SSE ePortfolio polices at http://www.coedu.usf.edu/main/departments/
seced/SocialS/SSEePortfolio.htm so that your grade is not adversely affected as a result of your not meeting the mandatory deadlines. There are two critical tasks:
-

-
