TaskStream Information

 

TaskStream is a web-based subscription service that offers an interactive desktop featuring a suite of tools for creating, organizing, tracking, and sharing standards-based lessons, units, electronic portfolios, and web pages.  Students taking education courses in the College of Education will utilize TaskStream to produce lesson plans and electronic portfolios.  A final portfolio will be required to demonstrate your competencies for certification. Candidates must attend a TaskStream workshop (outside of classes) during the first semester of education coursework (usually block 1).
