Isaac's Portfolio

Pitch Proposal Reflection. Tell us about presenting your pitch to your classmates and getting their feedback. What did you learn from their perspectives? How did their feedback shape your project?

Presenting my passion project in the form of a pitch in front of my classmates is extremely helpful in terms of getting feedbacks. My pitch was delivered successfully, I clearly demonstrated what my passion is, and how am I going to work towards that. I received feedbacks from my peers telling me that I should pick up the pace of my learning of coding, because it will be difficult to learn something completely new and make a product out of it, thus, speeding up the learning pace will be helpful. After hearing their feedback, I changed my plan working towards my goal today. I planned on learning during the Chinese New Year break, and spend more time coding the final product than learning.

Why have a digital portfolio at SAS?

Creating a portfolio, or blog is a great way to collect all the work you’ve done throughout your academic career. You can include academic, athletic, and personal artifacts or experiences that you want to share with a wider audience. This is a great way to organize all your learning in one place and you can take it with you when you leave SAS.  When you make your portfolio, you create posts that are categorized according to your subject. Some categories have already been set up for you, but if you need more categories you can add them as needed. It’s important that your posts have the following:

• An engaging title – this should not include the name of the subject since this is referenced in the category. Think of this as the first opportunity to engage and hook your reader!
• Body – this is where you share your learning. This should include a combination of text and media in the form of images, graphics, and embedded videos. You should always consider how your post looks to your audience. Is it engaging and organized? Do they want to keep reading?
• Category – select one that has been set for you or add a new category. Posts can have more than one category e.g. Humanities and Myself as a Learner
• Tags – create tags that can be used as keywords to describe your post. Tags help organize your post a little more! Aim to have 3-5 tags for each post. For example, if you are posting about a novel you wrote, you might want the following tags: #Fiction, #MurderMystery, #Theme, #PlotDiagram
