7. 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 - âthe heart and soul of a portfolioâ - 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 learnerâs 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

10. Purpose
⢠The overarching purpose
of portfolios is to create a
sense of personal
ownership over oneâs
accomplishments,
because ownership
engenders feelings of
pride, responsibility, and
dedication. (p.10)

Editor's Notes
How do portfolios and reflection fit into the learning process?BEFORE - goal-setting (reflection in the future tense), DURING - immediate reflection (in the present tense), where students write (or dictate) the reason why they chose a specific artifact to include in their collectionAFTER - retrospective (in the past tense) where students look back over a collection of work and describe what they have learned and how they have changed over a period of time (in a Level 3 portfolio)
How do we implement ePortfolios in a manner that engages students and helps achieve the purposes?
Common Tools vs. Proprietary systems
Iâm not convinced that deep reflection can be represented in 140-160 characters of a tweet or SMS message. But this format can be an effective way to document process over time --to capture the moment-- and can later be aggregated and analyzed for deeper understanding. As a current example, the tweets that were coming out of Egypt prior to February 11 told a very compelling story of the revolution as it was happening (as curated and retweeted by PBSâs Andy Carvin [@acarvin] - an incredible service!). We have seen the power of digital media in social change; it can also be part of individual transformation through understanding oneself and showcasing achievements in reflective portfolios. âtiny bursts of learningâ: http://chrisbetcher.com/2011/04/1483/

Using the computing power we carry in our pockets can dramatically enhance student engagement in documenting and showcasing their own learning. And with other tablets emerging in the market, we have many opportunities for research and implementation.
