e-Portfolio investigation
My Technology Design Cycle Report
Problem Identify
If we have E-Portfolios it would be easy to show with everyone because it's online and it with you everywhere you go (if you have internet).
So it's basically PAPER VS ELECTRONIC. It shows the progress of student's work and show how hard they worked. Both on E-Portfolio and Portfolio.
Design Brief
Research :: Portfolios and E-Portfolio
Definition of E-Portfolio
I conduct some research and made it my own.
Portfolios - Who uses them and Why?
Everyone can use a E-Portfolio or Portfolio in my point of view but, I see more students in college or just in school using Portfolios.
It's provide quality information, progress, and achievements in what they are doing over the past year and provides good understanding to whoever the students are showing their Portfolio or E-Portfolio.
Different Styles of E-Portfolios and Portfolios
There are many different type of styles for E-Portfolios and Portfolios.
A Classic Portfolio is a 3 ring notebook, structured with dividers and parts for document demonstrating each level.
For my portfolio in 6th Grade it was a BIG size book that was empty at first but, when we start a new unit we got to design a page and put our work inside or just design and write what we did. We sometimes got to print photos and stick them in. The annoying part was that the stuff we glue would come off and we have to stick it over and over.
https://sites.google.com/site/owenyinsportfoliobackup/ - His E-Portfolio was VERY VERY simple and had a lot of writing. I like his E-Portfolio because it's not complicated at all! Plus he came in 3rd place for his E-Portfolio
Example of Student's E-Portfolio
1. https://sites.google.com/a/g.thomas.edu/bobbipelletiereportfolio2011/home/communications - She a senior in Thomas College and this is her E-Portfolio. It's really simple not to stylish.
2. http://electronicportfolios.org/samples/tori1.pdf - This was made in 2001-2002 when she was in First Grade (Victoria). It's like a PDF file but online. So it's not actually a e-portfolio.
3. http://www.personal.psu.edu/jcc5304/blogs/la101H/essay-sample.html - She a freshman in Penn State and her e-portfolio shows some sample of work.
Students should use E-Portfolio because it's basically with you all the time! It's easy to transport and an e portfolio is very useful to show your progress in your learning and the skills I/ we use.
