The project begins...
The 2010-2011 school year was Mr. Burton's second year to teach APHuG and the first year in which he used the country portfolio process. It was a year of beginnins. As Mr. Burton had not yet learned of a good platform for free webdesign for his students, the portfolio was simply the traditional "three-ring binder" set-up. Suggestions from students during that first year, helped to make the project more meaningful for future years. Additionally, suggestions from colleagues, as well as Mr. Burton's year-long professional development experience with Teachers for Global Classrooms, has provided encouragement to take the project to a level where it also helps students to develop their 21st Century technology skills.
