Using free online tools such as Web 2.0 and social networking platforms can help develop ePortfolios. The document discusses how these tools allow portfolios to reflect on learning through multiple formats, showcase work online to various audiences, and facilitate feedback and dialogue about learning artifacts. It also explores how mobile devices can be used to capture learning moments through features like cameras, audio recording, and messaging. Portfolios serve both as a process of ongoing curation and reflection and as products to showcase achievements. A variety of free tools including blogs, wikis, and social networks can support different portfolio purposes and functions.
