Draft Paper/e-Portfolios
E-Portfolios are a collection of work by a student or a professional. They provide a way to
organize and showcase work using work samples, research papers, and videos in an online
format (What is an e-Portfolio?, 2007). Students and teachers use them to showcase work, give
feedback and provide a means for assessment. For professionals it can be used to create an online
resume that can show their skills and abilities beyond the paper resume.
The information provided in your portfolio depends on its purpose. If the portfolio is to be
used for future employment, it should include the typical resume information; personal
information, education and employment history, volunteer work, goals and professional
development. The page should also include work samples, philosophies and videos (What is an
e-Portfolio?, 2007). Classroom portfolios should include student information, a table of contents
or navigation menu, curriculum standards, samples of student work, a rubric or guidelines and
teacher feedback (Regis University Electronic Portfolio Project, n.d.). All e-Portfolios should
also include a reflection. "The electronic portfolio creates a personal collection of thoughts and
work that enhances the use and knowledge of technology, improves instructional practices and
showcases the candidates for potential employers, students and students’ parents" (Wickersham
& Chambers, 2006). In her TED x ASB presentation, Dr. Helen Barrett tells us that “only
engagement can produce mastery” (11:30). In other words, if we can get our students engaged in
their learning, they can master the topics. Using technology in the classroom encourages student
engagement.
2. I plan to use my e-Portfolio as an online resume to promote my philosophy on education.
I feel that it is the best way for employers to get to know me and my teaching styles, because I
can include many genres of media. I plan to include lesson plans, my education philosophy
paper, samples of my writing and videos. This will give employers a more informative view of
my teaching styles than what they would see in a job interview or a paper resume.
After researching the topic, I also feel that e-portfolios would be good to use in my math
classroom as well. Providing students with a Google Site or Schoology account creates a forum
for the students and teachers to collaborate and provide feedback (Karlin, Ozogul, Miles, &
Heide, 2016). Since our school provides iPads for every student, they can show their work and
take assessments electronically. They will be able to keep their work organized, work on
assignments and assessments, and collaborate with other students in the classroom. I like that I
can provide quicker feedback and help with homework online.
