Context
Why
Electronic Portfolios Now?

National Educational Technology Plan (2010)
Technology also gives students opportunities for taking ownership of their learning. Student-managed electronic learning portfolios can be part of a persistent learning record and help students develop the self-awareness required to set their own learning goals, express their own views of their strengths, weaknesses, and achievements, and take responsibility for them. Educators can use them to gauge students’ development, and they also can be shared with peers, parents, and others who are part of students’ extended network. (p.12)

What are Interactive Portfolios?
Portfolios using Web 2.0 tools to:
reflect on learning in multiple formats
showcase work online to multiple audiences
dialogue about learning artifacts/reflections
provide feedback to improve learning

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)

Deep Learning
involves reflection,
is developmental,
is integrative,
is self-directive, and
is lifelong
Cambridge (2004)

“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…”

United #7 ePortfolio Vision Statement (Draft)
By implementing e-portfolios, United#7 will empower students to become active participants in their own personalized education. Through use of reflection, technology, and collaboration, students and teachers will develop skills that will lead them to achieve their lifelong goals.

From Mead School District’s Student Portfolio Handbook:
Remember, you are telling us a story, and not just any story. Your portfolio is meant to be your story of your life over the last four years as well as the story of where your life might be going during the next four years: tell it with pride!

Why Mobile is a Must
Kids today are captivated by the personalization and socialization of online tools--the ability to build large networks of friends; share their thoughts, feelings, and goals; and communicate as they wish. …And not only is it possible, it's possible anytime and anywhere, via a plethora of devices and widely available cellular and WiFi networks.
The upshot is, these digital natives now have in their hands the tools to shape their own education in once unimagined ways. They have the ability to interact with other learners at their convenience, with differences in time and place presenting no hurdle. They can research, on the spot, any topic of interest. And they can capture the moment, whether it's in a picture, a video, or a blog entry.
-- Mary McCaffrey “Why Mobile is a Must” T.H.E. Journal http://thejournal.com/articles/2011/02/08/why-mobile-is-a-must.aspx

Posted on ePortfolio Conversations Google Group:
Question: How to collect evidence of informal learning rather than formal education.
Response: "Start with SMS [on mobile phones] - it’s the morse codeof the presentgeneration...and it works.”

What functions can be achieved with mobile phones 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

Voice6+1 Trait® Definition
Voice is the writer coming through the words, the sense that a real person is speaking to us and cares about the message. It is the heart and soul of the writing, the magic, the wit, the feeling, the life and breath. When the writer is engaged personally with the topic, he/she imparts a personal tone and flavor to the piece that is unmistakably his/hers alone. And it is that individual something–different from the mark of all other writers–that we call Voice.
http://educationnorthwest.org/resource/503#Voice

Portfolio as Story
"A portfolio tells a story. It is the story of knowing. Knowing about things... Knowing oneself... Knowing an audience... Portfolios are students' own stories of what they know, why they believe they know it, and why others should be of the same opinion.” (Paulson & Paulson, 1991, p.2)

Roger Schank, Tell Me a Story
“Telling stories and listening to other people's stories shape the memories we have of our experiences.”
Stories help us organize our experience and define our sense of ourselves.

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
