Why Mobile is a Must
• Kids today are captivated by the personalization and
socialization of online tools--the ability to build large
networks of friends; share their thoughts, feelings, and goals;
and communicate as they wish. …And not only is it possible,
it's possible anytime and anywhere, via a plethora of devices
and widely available cellular and WiFi networks.
• The upshot is, these digital natives now have in their hands
the tools to shape their own education in once unimagined
ways. They have the ability to interact with other learners at
their convenience, with differences in time and place
presenting no hurdle. They can research, on the spot, any
topic of interest. And they can capture the moment, whether
it's in a picture, a video, or a blog entry.
• -- Mary McCaffrey “Why Mobile is a Must” T.H.E. Journal

Google Group:
• Question: How to collect evidence of
informal learning rather than formal
education.
• Response: "Start with SMS [on mobile
phones] - it’s the morse code
of the present
generation...
and it works.”

Dan Schawbel, Forbes

• “Your online presence communicates,
or should communicate, what you’re
truly and genuinely passionate
about… I firmly believe that you won’t
be able to obtain and sustain a job
without passion anymore.”

Balancing the Two Faces
of ePortfolios
Process Product

Story of Documentation
Learning of Achievement

Workspace Showcase

Some Basic Concepts
 “ePortfoliois both process and
product”
 Process: A series of events (time
and effort) to produce a result
- From Old French
proces(“‘journey’”)
 Product: the outcome/results or
“thinginess” of an activity/process
- Destination

 Wiktionary

http://electronicportfolios.org/eportfolios/index.html

1. Purpose
• Purpose. Decide on the purpose for the
portfolio. What are you trying to show with
this portfolio? Are there outcomes, goals, or
standards that are being demonstrated with
this portfolio? In this example, steps 2-4
represent an iterative process, using a blog to
provide formative feedback on student work
on a regular basis.

Reflection
• What is your purpose
for implementing
ePortfolios in your
classroom this year?
• How will you help
students conduct
student-led
conferences with their
ePortfolios?

2. Collection/Classification
• What artifacts will you include in your
portfolio? How will you classify these entries?
• Students: convert all attached artifacts into
web-compatible formats (JPEG or PDF)

Level 1 - Collection

Google Drive

Share
What are a few
strategies to create
digital artifacts Google Drive
with GoogleApps
integrated into the
curriculum?
Audio, Video, I
mages, Text

Reflection
• What type of digital
artifacts will your
students create
throughout the school
year?
• How will you help
students store their
work online?

3. Reflection.
• Reflection is the heart and soul of a portfolio.
Reflection provides the rationale for why
these artifacts represent achievement of a
particular outcome, goal or standard. Blog
entries provide an opportunity for reflection
"in the present tense" or "reflection in action."

Level 2: Primary Purpose: Learning/Reflection

Reflection
• When and how will
your students reflect
on their work in their
blogs?
• What type of resources
could you share to
support student
reflection and goal-
setting (prompts, etc.)

Students Reflect – During
– Dr. Barrett's Google Site on Reflection for Learning)
– Students: Write a blog entry with a reflection on each
learning activity or artifact (what is the context in
which this artifact was developed? What did you
learn?).
– Students: Add your own
classification using Tags
– Students: Add appropriate
artifacts (through hyperlinks)
or as an attachment to the
journal entry.

4.
Connection/Interaction/Dialogue/
Feedback.
• This stage provides an opportunity for
interaction and feedback on the work
posted in the portfolio.
– provide feedback on the work posted in the
ePortfolio/blog entries. Guidelines should
be provided to support more effective
feedback.
• REPEAT steps 3-4 for each learning
activity or artifact,including updating
goals when appropriate.

Reflection
your students receive
feedback on their work
in their blogs?
could you share to
support student
commenting (prompts,
etc.)

Level 3:
Level 3: Primary Purpose: Showcase/Accountability
Showcase
Portfolio

Pages organized
thematically with rationale

5. Summative
Reflection/Selection/Evaluation.
• At the end of a course (or program),
students would write a reflection that
looks back over the course (or
program) and provides a
meta-analysis of the
learning experience as
represented in the
reflections stored in the
blog/journal entries.

Students Reflect - After
– Students: Review the blog/journal entries for that
category, and write a "retrospective reflection"
about the learning represented in the artifacts,
selecting one or two examples that best represent
achievement.
– Students: Prepare a Page for each Outcome, Goal
or Standard, and link to the selected
"best" blog entries, writing a reflection
on each page (by outcome/goal/standard)
which should also have the artifact
attached or linked.

6. Presentation/Publishing
• The portfolio developer decides what parts of the
portfolio are to be made public.
– Student: Create a set of pages that highlight the best
components of the portfolio, linking to specific entries
in the blog. Add the
evidence (through hyperlinks to blog entries or artifacts)
to the appropriate sub-pages in the portfolio.

Students Organize Showcase
Portfolio
– Students: Create an Introduction page, which
should contain an overview of the portfolio. It
serves as a “letter to the reader” and provides an
explanation of the overall goals of the portfolio.
Provide links to other pages developed
in the portfolio.
Advertise this Introduction
page as the initial access
point in your portfolio.
– Students: Create a page with
Future Learning Goals
(reflection in the future tense).

E-Portfolio Components
< Multiple Portfolios for
Multiple Purposes
-Celebrating Learning
-Personal Planning
-Transition/entry to courses
-Employment applications
-Accountability/Assessment
< Multiple Tools to Support
Processes
-Capturing & storing evidence
-Reflecting
-Giving & receiving feedback
-Planning & setting goals
-Collaborating
-Presenting to an audience
< Digital Repository
(Becta, 2007; JISC, 2008)

What functions can be achieved with mobile
phones for each of these processes?
• Capturing & storing evidence - this evidence of learning can be in
the form of text, images, audio or video
• Reflecting - “the heart and soul of a portfolio” - this reflection could
be captured in real time in different formats: writing, voice capture
(and voice-to-text conversion), video capture and digital stories
• Giving & receiving feedback - one of the most effective uses of a
portfolio is to review a learner’s work and providing feedback for
improvement
• Planning & setting goals - a very important part of the portfolio
process is personal development planning and setting goals for
achievement
• Collaborating - learning is a social activity - technology provides
new forms of collaboration
• Presenting to an audience - at specific points in the learning
process, a learner may put together a presentation of their learning
outcomes for an audience, either real or virtual
