CEdO555 Posting #1
How have I or my district used e-portfolios? This is the first time I have used an online portfolio. Now that I have become familiar with using Google Sites, I think that online portfolios are so much easier than the traditional paper portfolios. Google Sites provides an awesome environment for artifact organization, reflections and other resources I have accumulated during the program. An e-portfolio is also a great way to provide documentation for my PDP. I can definitely see how an e-portfolio could be used in the classroom with my students. Sadly, I am 99% sure that no one in my district uses e-portfolios. That will change with my classes next school year. I can't wait to introduce my staff to the benefits of online portfolios!

Mary,
ReplyDeleteMy school does not use e-portfolios either. I think they would be great to use to showcase students work with technology (among many other subjects). I am excited to create our e-portfolios using Google Sites, especially since I am becoming more and more comfortable with it. And it is great to be able to go to ONE place to look at all of our hard work throughout this program. Wouldn't it be great if our students could do the same???
Mary,
ReplyDeleteI think its great you are going to introduce your staff to the benefits of e-portfolios. I bet by the end of next year you will no longer be the "only" one with one!
I also really like your idea of using a portfolio as a documentation tool for PDPs. I was using a blog for my reflection tool, but the portfolio would house EVERYTHING! :) Brilliant idea!
