Reflection:
Throughout my matrix, I tried to include activities and ideas for each subject that the students could carry with
them all through elementary school and even through middle and high school. I think that an ePortfolio is a good way
to keep track of all of the work and progress that a students has made throughout their time in school. My main
thought while creating this matrix was to include lessons that students could post on their ePortfolio and look back at
them throughout the year and see how they have improved. They then can continue to add to their ePortfolio all

through their years of educations and see how far they have come and see all of the different concepts that they have
learned. By doing this it almost creates an online memory for students to look back at. This matrix really helped me
see how many different ways there are in incorporate technology in the classroom and in my lessons. It also showed
me how important technology can be when teaching new lessons to students.
