Interesting Find – E-Portofolios in the Classroom
I have recently been trying to catch up on my blog subscriptions and read Chris Harbeck’s blog posting E-Portfolios Year 2 What I have learned! It is amazing!
Chris talks about using electronic portfolios in his classroom as part of student-led conferences. He highlights what has worked and what hasn’t worked. He also shares examples of what his students have created and tools that will assist both teachers and students.
Though I gathered so much information from the blog, I was very interested in the accessibility of information and projects done in the classroom by parents. What an excellent way to engage parents in the learning process! Parents don’t have to wait until the parent-teacher conferences, but rather tap into what is going on at any time (literally). I also liked the idea that students did math work with their parents during the student-led conference. Family engagement once again.
If you haven’t seen this blog, I encourage you to take a look. It is a fine example of technology and the learning process.
Have a glorious day.
