1. Engagement eJournal
This template will help you create your Engagement eJournal. An eJournal is an electronic (computer, paperless) version of a journal.
Your eJournal is a record of what you did and learned in our SmartLab. Use it to record your objectives, reflect on your learning, and track your progress.
Save this document to your computer and use it for your newest eJournal. Rename it as the Assigned Engagement’s Name-Your Period #-Your Group Letter (example: ZomeTools-3-A). Add more slides if you need more room in your eJournal. Feel free to use different colors, graphics, and fonts to make it your own!
As you create a collection of these eJournals you will be creating yourself a ePortfolio of work.
