Zach Paul's ePortfolio
Welcome!
Hello! My name is Zachary Paul. I am currently a freshman at Indiana University and will graduate in 2020 with a Bachelor's degree in elementary education. I plan to have license additions in reading and computers/technology. I am originally from Cedarburg, Wisconsin which is a suburb of Milwaukee. I have spent time in third and fourth grade classrooms at Thorson Elementary in Cedarburg, as well as a K-6 classroom at Harmony School in Bloomington, Indiana. This semester, I have the opportunity to work with English Language Learning students in a classroom at Rogers Elementary in Bloomington, which I believe will further help me understand students from a variety of backgrounds. I also look forward to completing my student teaching in Italy, which will be my first time traveling outside of North America.
This ePortfolio serves as an example of my qualifications and potential as a future educator. I completed this ePortfolio as part of a computers in education course during my freshman year at Indiana University. I have included examples of my best work and my progress as a preservice teacher to demonstrate my desire to continue learning and growing. Feel free to explore and learn more about my background and beliefs as an educator.
