Help students findtheir Purpose and Passion through Reflection & Goal-Setting in E-Portfolio Development

Purpose • The overarching purpose of portfolios is to create a sense of personal ownership over one’s accomplishments, because ownership engenders feelings of pride, responsibility, and dedication. (p.10) • Paris, S & Ayres, L. (1994) Becoming Reflective Students and Teachers. American Psychological Association

“metacognition lies at the root of all learning” “…self-knowledge, awareness of how and why we think as we do, and the ability to adapt and learn, are critical to our survival as individuals…” - James Zull (2011) From Brain to Mind: Using Neuroscience to Guide Change in Education

Digital Tools? Expressive vs.Structured Models

E-Portfolio Components < Multiple Portfolios for Multiple Purposes -Celebrating Learning -Personal Planning -Transition/entry to courses -Employment applications -Accountability/Assessment < Multiple Tools to Support Processes -Capturing & storing evidence -Reflecting -Giving & receiving feedback -Planning & setting goals -Collaborating -Presenting to an audience < Digital Repository(Becta, 2007; JISC, 2008)

What functions can be achieved for each of these processes?• Capturing & storing evidence - this evidence of learning can be in the form of text, images, audio or video• Reflecting - “the heart and soul of a portfolio” - this reflection could be captured in real time in different formats: writing, voice capture (and voice-to-text conversion), video capture and digital stories• Giving & receiving feedback - one of the most effective uses of a portfolio is to review a learner’s work and providing feedback for improvement• Planning & setting goals - a very important part of the portfolio process is personal development planning and setting goals for achievement• Collaborating - learning is a social activity - technology provides new forms of collaboration• Presenting to an audience - at specific points in the learning process, a learner may put together a presentation of their learning outcomes for an audience, either real or virtual

Portfolio as Story"A portfolio tells a story.It is the story of knowing. Knowing aboutthings... Knowing oneself... Knowing anaudience... Portfolios are students ownstories of what they know, why theybelieve they know it, and why othersshould be of the same opinion.”(Paulson & Paulson, 1991, p.2)

Do Your E-Portfolios have CHOICE and VOICE?• Individual Identity• Reflection• Meaning Making• 21 st Century Literacy• Digital Story of Deep Learning

Convergence

Digital Storytelling Process• Create a 2-to-4 minute digital video clip – First person narrative [begins with a written script ~ 400 words] – Told in their own voice [record script] – Illustrated (mostly) by still images – Music track to add emotional tone

Some Basic Concepts “ePortfoliois both process and product”  Process: A series of events (time and effort) to produce a result - From Old French proces(“‘journey’”)  Product: the outcome/results or “thinginess” of an activity/process - Destination  Wiktionary

1. Purpose• Purpose. Decide on the purpose for the portfolio. What are you trying to show with this portfolio? Are there outcomes, goals, or standards that are being demonstrated with this portfolio? In this example, steps 2-4 represent an iterative process, using a blog to provide formative feedback on student work on a regular basis.

Students Reflect - Before– Students: Create a blog page to use as a reflective journal. Call the page "Journal" or "Blog." Create a first post that describes the purpose for developing this portfolio.– Teachers: Set up templates for student work, if appropriate. – Students: Set personal goals for learning (reflection “in the future tense”).

2. Collection/Classification• What artifacts will you include in your portfolio? How will you classify these entries?• Students: convert all attached artifacts into web-compatible formats (JPEG or PDF)

3. Reflection.• Reflection is the heart and soul of a portfolio. Reflection provides the rationale for why these artifacts represent achievement of a particular outcome, goal or standard. Blog entries provide an opportunity for reflection "in the present tense" or "reflection in action."   

Students Reflect – During– Dr. Barretts Google Site on Reflection for Learning)– Students: Write a blog entry with a reflection on each learning activity or artifact (what is the context in which this artifact was developed? What did you learn?).– Students: Add your own classification using Tags– Students: Add appropriate artifacts (through hyperlinks) or as an attachment to the journal entry.

4. Connection/Interaction/Dialogue/ Feedback.• This stage provides an opportunity for interaction and feedback on the work posted in the portfolio. – provide feedback on the work posted in the ePortfolio/blog entries. Guidelines should be provided to support more effective feedback.• REPEAT steps 3-4 for each learning activity or artifact,including updating goals when appropriate. 

5. Summative Reflection/Selection/Evaluation.• At the end of a course (or program), students would write a reflection that looks back over the course (or program) and provides a meta-analysis of the learning experience as represented in the reflections stored in the blog/journal entries.

Students Reflect - After– Students: Review the blog/journal entries for that category, and write a "retrospective reflection" about the learning represented in the artifacts, selecting one or two examples that best represent achievement.– Students: Prepare a Page for each Outcome, Goal or Standard, and link to the selected "best" blog entries, writing a reflection on each page (by outcome/goal/standard) which should also have the artifact attached or linked.

6. Presentation/Publishing• The portfolio developer decides what parts of the portfolio are to be made public. – Student: Create a set of pages that highlight the best components of the portfolio, linking to specific entries in the blog. Add the evidence (through hyperlinks to blog entries or artifacts) to the appropriate sub-pages in the portfolio.

Students Organize Showcase Portfolio– Students: Create an Introduction page, which should contain an overview of the portfolio. It serves as a “letter to the reader” and provides an explanation of the overall goals of the portfolio. Provide links to other pages developed in the portfolio. Advertise this Introduction page as the initial access point in your portfolio.– Students: Create a page with Future Learning Goals (reflection in the future tense).

A Reminder…Reflection & Relationships… the “Heart and Soul” of an e- portfolio… NOT the Technology! 54

My Final Wish…• dynamic celebrations• stories of deep learning• across the lifespan
