When I think of an E portfolio I think of it in a traditional sense, a place to keep your work so it may be presented to potential employers. Without a doubt that may have been it's original use. I see the potential of utilizing it for an educational purpose, but not a direct teacher to student way. With all the Internet media that's available, teachers could find useful ideas through blogs, images, tutorials and the like, opening up more avenues to develop their own teaching style. E portfolio has the potential to become a creative hub for teachers to showcase their work, and learn off and connect with other teaching experiences.

Hi Kathryn
ReplyDeleteI agree that e-portfolios will be used in the future, if not already, to replace or accompany resumes for employers. They are a great way to showcase your achievements throughout a period of time. This is why I think they will also become a popular Assessment Tool in the Classroom for students to take ownership of their learning. They can produce an e-portfolio that demonstrates their learnings during the course of the term and show how it meets particular learning outcomes in a creative way. It then becomes a permanent tool for them to map their journey.
Thanks.
