" "  Original Content / Artifacts

Page Body:

Under the secondary headings in the body for each Newsfeed:

  • Add artifact -the Newsfeed

  • Add a Note Section with reference for significant / important sources to learning and the potential learning of future site visitors; follow APA 7th edition

" " Design Considerations:

Find the best way to share your Newsfeeds on your site. Ensure the complete artifact is easily and comfortably viewable given the communication method used. Consider embedding videos so they play directly on your site vs. a link to YouTube. Consider pasting written English directly in your site vs. an image or a file that needs to be opened.

Pro Tip: All non-original content requires appropriate APA citations and references on the webpage it is presented on.

" "  Reflective Content

Page Reflection:

Under the secondary headings for "Overarching Reflection:"

  • Explain what you learn about yourself as both a person and a professional by creating, revising, and compiling the content of this webpage. Where are your strengths and how will these strengths benefit you in your school interpreting work? Where are your shortcoming and how will these shortcomings challenge you in your work? How have you grown in the stated SIS Competencies? Who and what contributed the most to this learning and in what ways? Where do you go from here both in the short- and long-term?

If you have received peer or instructor feedback on this webpage or it's artifacts:

  • Summarize the feedback. Explain how the feedback impacts the webpage / artifacts and, ultimately, your possession of the stated SIS Competencies, your journey in school interpreting, and your employability and professional brand as a school interpreter.

  • Outline steps you have taken and/or steps you need to take (and when) to make this a showcase webpage / artifacts.

Pro Tip: Use the 5R Framework for Reflection with Reflection to Critical Reflection qualities
