(Becta, 2007; JISC, 2008)
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
WHY?
Help students find
their Purpose and Passion
      through Reflection &
           Goal-Setting in
 E-Portfolio Development
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)

Editor's Notes

  • #14 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)
  • #19 How do we implement ePortfolios in a manner that engages students and helps achieve the purposes?
  • #21 Common Tools vs. Proprietary systems
  • #28 I’m 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 PBS’s 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. “tiny bursts of learning”: http://chrisbetcher.com/2011/04/1483/
  • #29 Grade 3-5 classroom in Portland using Evernote. Scanner wirelessly emails documents to each student’s Evernote account. Use of tags, software recognizes text in scanned docs.
  • #36 Common Tools vs. Proprietary systems
  • #40 Common Tools vs. Proprietary systems
  • #47 Common Tools vs. Proprietary systems
  • #51 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.
