Schedule• Saving your files as web pages• Linking your files to your portfolio• Save your powerpoint as a presentation and as a web page.• Drop presentation and web presentation into your website.• Philosophy-be sure you show your growth from your original philosophy

and now. Example: You may have set up rules for your students to follow and later decided they needed to be a part of setting up the rules. You may have had 10 original rules and now you narrow them down to 3 that cover all 10.Example 2: You may have written lesson plans without differentiation and now you see the importance of the differentiation in class management and in terms of the students actually being able to do or wanting to do the lesson.
