e-Portfolio Investigation
MYP Technology 7B
Introduction
Problems:
- Unable to access work
- Can't share with the world what you're doing
- Forgetting to bring it to class
- Can't show the progress
- Can't show evidence
From all the problems above.. I suggest students and teachers to use an e-portfolio because you can access work easily and no needing to worry about losing or not bringing in works that needs to be done or needs to be turn in.
Problem?
1. You don't need to carry any big books/folders around when you can work online and save it online instead.
2. Teachers, friends, classmates, or relatives can go search for your e-Portfolio online because they're out of town and they want to know how much you've improve.
3. e-Portfolio is online! So, there's nothing that we need to forget about bringing.
4. We can access work easier.
5. Not needing to forget to bring an normal portfolio.
6. We can also show our progress way, way easier than using papers.
Design Brief
Why use an e-Portfolio?
Why students use e-Portfolio?
There's this thing now call "Internet"! We can now create our own e-Portfolio online and easy to use. We really don't need to carry a folder/book around.. We can just copy our e-Portfolio and paste it in a hard-drive and carry the small hard-drive around cause the hard-drive can also be connected to a desktop or laptop. But most of all, it's way easier and much more cooler than just paper and pencil.
Electronic portfolios directly relate student work to the defined standards or criteria. Portfolios demonstrate wider dimensions of learning than just paper-and-pencil reports or exercises. For example, within an electronic portfolio, a student can add digital audio or video and graphics to document evidence of learning.

But, we're the new generation!
Testing Methods
Test groups:
- Joyce
- Haroon
- Sengly
- Mr. Luke
- Sambath
Place: Technology class (Mr. Luke)
I will have at least 5 people to test my e-Portfolio and I will brainstorm some survey questions so that my testers can give me feedback on my work.
Design Specification
- be free
- electronic and accessible from any device that can be connected to the internet (tablet, smart phone, desktop computer and laptop)
- be able to store work produced in all classes, i.e. a wide variety of files (images, text, video and sound)

- have a good URL &/or Title
- be professional and academic... not cute, funny, silly, etc.
Criterion A: Investigation
0 The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors below.
1 — 2 The student states the problem. The student investigates the problem, collecting information from sources. The student lists some specifications.
3 — 4 The student describes the problem, mentioning its relevance. The student investigates the problem, selecting and analysing information from some acknowledged sources. The student describes a test to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification.
5 — 6 The student explains the problem, discussing its relevance. The student critically investigates the problem, evaluating information from a broad range of appropriate, acknowledged sources. The student describes detailed methods for appropriate testing to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification.
