The Applied Learning Portfolio is a task that will help you reflect on your learning about teaching in informal and 'applied' contexts. The Victorian Institute of Teaching's Graduate Teacher Standards will be used as a device for making connections between experiences that you have had and the requirements for beginning teachers. Additionally, your experiences need to be organised according to the dimensions of the 'Applied Learning Star' and you will use this graphic to map your experiences in a visual dimension.

This is website is a learning module that will support you to build your Applied Learning Portfolio. You need to follow through the items displayed on the right hand side menu. You will begin by completing a planner that helps you to conceptualise how your portfolio will go together and allows you to practice some of the required tasks. This planner will be submitted early in the semester for feedback and is worth 20%. Make sure you revisit the planner before completing your portfolio so you can take on board the feedback provided. You can then work through the stages of your portfolio. This module will help you to compile your evidence, create assets for each experience and then compile your portfolio using Pebble Pad.

The learning module is actually built in Pebble Pad and hopefully this will help you to conceptualise what Pebble Pad is and how you might use it as a tool to develop your own resources.
