Showcase Was Just the Beginning

Okay, after sweating over deadlines over the last few months, I nearly missed the big one. Happily, I did get my showcase project together in time, complete with GROWTh brochure and PowerPoint presentation (albeit just the first part). I also did a portfolio timeline to illustrate how my learning journey has spanned the last three decades.

Now the real work begins. It's time to start expanding and updating the "Search Me...!" presentation so we can start using it. You, my illustrious readers, can help by reviewing it and posting your feedback here on my blog. I plan to post updates as it comes together this summer, after which I hope to use it in a college prep program in the fall.


Showcase was a lot of fun, as usual. Although I understand the value of independent, distance learning in the 21st Century, I have to admit my favorite parts of LATI were the face-to-face gatherings. Not only was it nice to network with folks, the food was pretty good, too!

Here are a few pics from Showcase, held June 19.

My display—compact yet compelling.


Compared to other displays, mine was vertically-challenged.


Honore does the honors.


So glad it's over!

Showcase Project

I've loaded part of it to the bottom of this blog, but haven't yet figured out how to get the narration to play. Many of the slides won't make sense without narration.

Things are further complicated by the fact that I'm building the darn thing in Office 2007, while Google Docs only supports Office 1997-2003.
