Status+Report+1-+Ron+Olson

**Status Report 1:** Complete an initial status report entry for Friday, Oct. 29th that addresses the following:

//a. Where you are in your process of creating your portfolio (e.g., digital folders and related artifacts, tool choice, etc.) //  All my folders are created, but all my work is not separated into them yet. I still need to separate and place pieces into their respective folders.

 I am going with a google site (I think) for my EP, although I still need to figure how to put pictures in and make it look like I want it to.

//b. Your additional categories for what you feel will best represent your identity as a beginning middle grades ELA / SS teacher (at least 2 more than the 5 required ones: content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, impact on student learning, 21st C technologies and skills) //


 * Diversity Understanding
 * Empathy knowledge
 * Professional development
 * Greater human understanding
 * Greater appreciation for childhood

//c. Your initial ideas for a theme and related design considerations (e.g., layout, color scheme, images, quotations, video, etc.) //

No real clue yet about design considerations, and right now I think my theme might be "Always look to the stars" or something of that nature. I'm not really sure though because it's been hard to think of something unique to me. I need to sit down and come up with a personal theme that speaks to me and tells others about myself.
