E-porfolios. So what’s in one?
Way back in the a by-gone again, maybe a year or two ago Portfolios of student work were kept in plastic pocket document folders and were flipped through during parent/Teacher interview.
Now that we have entered the digital age what are our portfolios supposed to look like?
- Is it really students work photographed and stored on the school server, to be viewed during parent/ Teacher conference?
- Is to be CD collection of student work gathered together within folders for parental perusal at the end of the year?
- Is it to be carefully crafted DVD filled with ‘digital stories’ of ‘my learning journey’?
- Is it a blog? A wiki? A website? Should it completely open to the world?
- Is it to be a portal, with everything locked safely behind logins and passwords?
David Warlick has defined what he thinks .
But what about you? In New Zealand? From somewhere else?
What are features that you’re looking for in an e-portfolio?
Please share with me. I genuinely want to know.
Hi mate
I have been researching ePortfolios since late last year and are currently undergoing a pilot in my school. I have been recording my thoughts, research, findings, etc on my blog http://lietze.edublogs.org/2009/04/10/eportfolio-6-my-eportfolio-choice/ Here you will find some answers to your question “What are the features that you’re looking for in an ePortfolio?”. You might find useful information on the other posts also.
Apart from that I hope that I get to catchup again with you at ULearn 09 :+)
