do you have the magic e?

So has anyone noticed these days everything has an e in front of it email, elearning, eteaching, well now I bring you ePortfolio. This term was recently brought to my attention through an article well almost a guide by Helen Barrett. It focuses on the traditional concept of students making portfolio's of their work but like most things these days making it electronic! 


Barrett's article mentioned a very interesting trend that is occuring, ePortfolio's seem to be growing in popularity among high school education however it is in fact in primary particularly in lower primary that portfolio's are normally seen, kindergartens' making scrapbooks of their learning to take home each term. Why is it that in the technological world we are not all embracing the e in front of everything!


Jane Logan, Janna Weber and myself analysed this interesting topic and have represented our ideas in a presentation which will be shared for you all to look at. 


The most significant aspect of ePortfolio's for me was the fantastic opportunity it provides students with to reflect on their own learning and recognise, their own achievements and set their own goals for future learning.
