The document discusses using digital e-portfolios for a class of 21 students in years 2 and 3. It explains that the teacher tried different programs before deciding on Keynote, which allows students to have individualized portfolios. The teacher divides the class into groups and teaches capable students first, who then help teach others. Parents appreciate seeing their child's progress and school experiences through the e-portfolios. Tips include making a mock portfolio as an example and having students work through the portfolio pages one at a time.

3. Starting Point
Decide on what you want in
them.
Don’t be afraid to use
technology. With a bit of
coaching the little ones can.

4. Where I Started
Played around with different
programmes.
Tried iweb. It has great features
- but you can not individualize
each child’s e-portfolio.
Decided on using Keynote.

5. Decision Time
Using Keynote
Decide on what you want in
there.

6. What I do
Divide my class into two groups for the
computers.
They make their own individual folders.
I teach my more capable children, who then
go on to teach and help the rest of the
class.
Do one slide at a time.

9. Tips
Make up your own mock e-portfolio - it gives
the children some idea of what you are
trying to achieve.
Start with your more able students.
Do one page at a time - work through your
class.
Get them to peer tutor - You teach the first
pair, then they teach each other.
