What About E-Portfolio?
An electronic portfolio, also known as an e-portfolio or digital portfolio, is a collection of electronic evidence assembled and managed by a user, usually on the Web. Such electronic evidence may include inputted text, electronic files, images, multimedia, blog entries, and hyperlinks. E-portfolios are both demonstrations of the user's abilities and platforms for self-expression, and, if they are online, they can be maintained dynamically over time. Some e-portfolio applications permit varying degrees of audience access, so the same portfolio might be used for multiple purposes.
An e-portfolio can be seen as a type of learning record that provides actual evidence of achievement. Learning records are closely related to the Learning Plan, an emerging tool that is being used to manage learning by individuals, teams, communities of interest, and organizations. To the extent that a Personal Learning Environment captures and displays a learning record, it also might be understood to be an electronic portfolio.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_portfolio)
This Electronic Portfolio aims to set learning to a more innovative and provocative education as we integrate ICT in our class (Educ 213). This will present a collection of insights acquired from our daily discoveries with the use of technology. Thus, I am inviting you to explore, discover, and make the most of what this new innovation could offer us.

Statistics as a Platform in Education for Sustainable Development
It is now the high time to do our own share in protecting Earth and her wonderful creatures.
Our planet is indeed gasping for breath right now, our harmful pollutions is indeed choking her slowly and
continues to stripped her with her ozone layer. I think it is about time to give our timely response to this alarming
state of the only planet we live in, by doing our own share of protecting her with doing simple things that will
stir big difference. For if not, we might be harming ourselves in the years ahead as well, for nature has its own
destructive way of getting back at us humans, the signs of earth's displeasure with inappropriate and harmful
activities of humans are now seen and felt all across the globe like the global warming, climate change, acid rain,
drought, flash floods and other forms of natural catastrophes. Here are some practical and small ways that could
help our planet get a sigh of relief. Collective small efforts by those who are genuinely concerned with earth's
welfare will inevitably help her by great leap and bounds.
1. Don’t allow your children to free those colorful balloons in mid air. Teach your children not to release these
balloons. For balloons that escaped the grasps of your children that will get into oceans and seas will be
mistaken
as yummy jellyfish by sea turtles. Sea turtles takes a lot of years to mature and unfortunately some of them got
killed by eating balloon or plastic bags. Sea turtles are part of the delicate cycle and if their population is affected
other species of marine creatures are also under threat.
2. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Make it a habit to reduce the things we need or we consume. Purchase only
things that we only need and eat only what you can. Let us do our share not to be part of the problem or should I
say part of the garbage problem. Reuse all the things that can still be repaired/fixed or those things that are still
okay.
Recycle things to conserve our resources, collect old newspapers, books, magazines, used papers, bottles
(plastic and glass), and any other things that you could sell in junkyards. There is money in garbage and at the
same time we’re doing our part in recycling process.
3. Be kind to trees. As much as possible use forests products and timber very well with optimum efficiency. You
may use the back of coupons, use pencils until it become as small as possible, and don’t play with matches. Try
to get involved in tree planting in your local conservation program. This could be fun as trees can give us added
oxygen, shades for people and a refuge to different insects and birds.
and other things that have mercury on it should be disposed properly. Avoid throwing this in rivers for mercury is
toxic and poisonous.
5. Minimize the use refrigerators, foam blowers, solvents, aerosol spray propellants, fire extinguishers, and
chemical reagents for these contains chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that are responsible to the climate change and
depletion of our precious ozone layer. Do not burn plastic please this habit is also harmful to our ozone layer.
6. Do not buy exotic and endangered animals. These animals are intended to be in the wild not as mere
decorations to your home or as pets or playthings.
7. Educate our children, friends and even our local community about the harmful effects of dynamite fishing, illegal
logging, animal poaching, over reliance to wood products and other environmental issues.
8. Do not even bother to try eating exotic and endangered animals for they are not intended to be part of human’s
diet. Let the other predatory animal do the stalking and eating hehehe you’re not fit to be a lion. One of the most
badly hit by these human's hunger for delicious foods are the sharks (shark fin soup), sturgeon (sturgeon roes -
caviar- are valued for their great taste and one of the most prized eats in the world), snakes, sea turtles and many
other animals.
9. Do not patronize things (coats, purse, belt, etc.) that are made up of an endangered animal or animal part (like
skin, fur, bones, tusks, antlers, etc.).
10. Be responsible with your garbage, dispose them properly. Also try to use segregation scheme with your
trashes, separate those decomposable from those that are not. You may utilize a compost pit to house all of your
organic trashes and eventually use this as your fertilizer for your backyard garden or to your plants.
11. Do the traditional way of helping to conserve our environment by virtue of avoiding smoke-belching, saving
electrical energy by employing tips (like regular cleaning of our bulb and fluorescent light in our home, use only
appliances when needed, avoiding dripping of water from our faucets, and reporting any case of broken water
pipelines to local government).
12. Support any environmental conservation in your community, you may give some donations if this will not
bother you to support their cause. You may also join them in their information dissemination drive and campaign
as well. You may also do things that can benefit our environment. If you're living in nearby beaches try putting old
tires in the sea, this will serve as sanctuary for fishes to lay their eggs and for a place to hide from predators. You
may have some vegetation (vegetables, trees or ornamental plants) in your own backyard, for extra oxygen in
your
area.
13. Support and visit eco tours near you, these may promote awareness about the importance of ecology to your
children, relative and friends.
14. When visiting any tourism site/protected parks please be responsible with your trashes as much as possible
adhere to the rules and regulations of the park even if no one is looking at you.
15. Learn how to appreciate nature and her gifts to mankind and support any environmental campaigns that will
help nurture and protect the only planet we live in.

GOD given us all we want. Let us just open our eyes to the wonders we did not
appreciate. Let us not problem about something because all we want is be
thankful of his GIFT and use our knowledge in the right way. There's more to

Just follow your Heart because if it is against your emotion then there's something wrong with your decision. Let your conscience be value. Be GOD fearing.
SUMMARY
Every actions we do everyday involve statistics. It is helpful for me as a master's degree to have the knowledge in our group report. It widens my view in life and outlook as a teacher. A simple actions have meanings already and definition in statistics. I learned that as a teacher you need to be knowledgeable enough for you to be effective and confident in teaching. It's not an excuse to commit a mistake always in front of the pupils or students because it will ruin your reliability as a teacher. Not simply familiarize and master your lessons to be effective enough you need to have a source together with you while teaching because a mind can forget something stored in our memory. To have group mates can lessen your work in reporting but constant communication really matters to comply what is being asked. Established the rule in giving grades and manner of discussion must be settle ahead of time to avoid chaos. Impost the role properly and follow what is being said. Every university do have their own policy in giving exam as a teacher following the rules is a way to achieved the given goal. We as teacher will developed an openness to change for the common good. Because there's something in the way we teach we do not see the inconsistency. There must be a consistency and a basis in all the things we will do.
