This looks to be a busy, but very productive class.
So.... this weeks blog question is....... How have you or your schools utilized ePortfolios?
Well, the short answer is... we don't. However, our 6th~8th grade students do have portfolios that they are supposed to put items in throughout their career at our middle school. Then at the end of 8th grade, they present their portfolios to two teachers. They have to "pass" in order to go to high school.
That being said, I think there are a lot of programs that could be used for their portfolios. I think Prezi would be a great way to do a digital portfolio. You can add in audio and video clips, not to mention pictures and scans of physical artifacts. I wouldn't mind making my own professional portfolio Prezi.... I think it would help set me apart from the pack.
A lot of the tools we've learned in class I think would be great for making the projects that end up in the digital portfolio. I especially think that iMovie and Garageband have a lot of potential. Also, Comic Life would also be another way to present information in a new and creative way.
