25. Draft National Educational Technology Plan (2010) Technology also gives students opportunities for taking ownership of their learning. Student-managed electronic learning portfolios can be part of a persistent learning record and help students develop the self-awareness required to set their own learning goals, express their own views of their strengths, weaknesses, and achievements, and take responsibility for them. Educators can use them to gauge students’ development, and they also can be shared with peers, parents, and others who are part of students’ extended network. (p.12)

29. The Power of Portfolios Author: Dr. Elizabeth Hebert, Principal Crow Island School, Winnetka, Illinois Picture taken by Helen Barrett at AERA, Seattle, April, 2001
30. From the Preface (1) Hebert, Elizabeth (2001) The Power of Portfolios. Jossey-Bass, p.ix “Portfolios have been with us for a very long time. Those of us who grew up in the 1950s or earlier recognize portfolios as reincarnations of the large memory boxes or drawers where our parents collected starred spelling tests, lacy valentines, science fair posters, early attempts at poetry, and (of course) the obligatory set of plaster hands. Each item was selected by our parents because it represented our acquisition of a new skill or our feelings of accomplishment. Perhaps an entry was accompanied by a special notation of praise from a teacher or maybe it was placed in the box just because we did it.”
31. From the Preface (2) Hebert, Elizabeth (2001) The Power of Portfolios. Jossey-Bass, p.ix “We formed part of our identity from the contents of these memory boxes. We recognized each piece and its association with a particular time or experience. We shared these collections with grandparents to reinforce feelings of pride and we reexamined them on rainy days when friends were unavailable for play. Reflecting on the collection allowed us to attribute importance to these artifacts, and by extension to ourselves, as they gave witness to the story of our early school experiences.”
32. From the Preface (3) Hebert, Elizabeth (2001) The Power of Portfolios. Jossey-Bass, p.ix-x “Our parents couldn’t possibly envision that these memory boxes would be the inspiration for an innovative way of thinking about children’s learning. These collections, lovingly stored away on our behalf, are the genuine exemplar for documenting children’s learning over time. But now these memory boxes have a different meaning. It’s not purely private or personal, although the personal is what gives power to what they can mean.”
37. Is there a difference between what you purposefully save and what you can’t throw away?
38. How can we use our personal collections experiences to help learners as they develop their portfolios?The power of portfolios [to support deep learning] is personal.
39. Technology & Reflection Two Themes across the Lifespan with ePortfolio Development and Social Networking 21
40. What is a Portfolio? Dictionary definition: a flat, portable case for carrying loose papers, drawings, etc. Financial portfolio: document accumulation of fiscalcapital Educational portfolio: document development of humancapital
41. What is a Portfolio in Education? A portfolio is a purposeful collection of [academic] work that exhibits the [learner’s]efforts, progress and achievements in one ormore areas[over time]. (Northwest Evaluation Association, 1990)

159. Process Purpose. Decide on the purpose for the portfolio. What are you trying to show with this portfolio? Collection/Classification. What artifacts will you include in your portfolio? How will you classify these entries? (Level 1) Reflection. Blog entries provide an opportunity for reflection "in the present tense" or "reflection in action.” (Level 2) Connection/Interaction/Dialogue/Feedback. This stage provides an opportunity for interaction and feedback on the work posted in the portfolio. (Level 2) Summative Reflection/Selection/Evaluation. 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. (Level 3) Presentation/Publishing. The portfolio developer decides what parts of the portfolio are to be made public. (Level 3) REPEAT for each learning activity or artifact.
160. Organize a Presentation Portfolio based on Themes Use Pages in Blogger or WordPresshttp://blog.helenbarrett.org/ Use Google Siteshttp://sites.helenbarrett.net/portfolio/
165. Manage Site Select More Actions – Manage Site to change some of your Site Settings
166. Manage Site – General Make Site name more appropriate Establish consistent Site Categories so that you can search by category
167. Page Types in Google Sites Web Page – create your own structure Announcements – blog with RSS feeds File Cabinet – upload files, organize in folders List – simple flat-file data base
168. Explore Google Sites Capabilities for ePortfolio Requirements File Cabinet page type to upload artifacts Comments for feedback on pages or entries in Announcements page Announcements page type (blog) with RSS feeds List page type as data base Subscribe to page or site changes What’s New in Google Docs? http://www.google.com/google-d-s/whatsnew.html
169. Begin with a Working Portfolio Adopt social networking strategies: Maintain a blog/reflective journal (Blogger or WordPress) Comments = Conversation Create a PLN on Twitter Follow and Invite FollowersSharing ideas/links/current events – Post Collect digital copies of your work Set up GoogleDocs account and upload Office Docs into one place
177. Hands-on Activity: #2 GoogleDocs Create a Document to describe your portfolio context and goals for either professionalor student e-portfolios. Share your document with your neighbors Collaboratively edit each others’ documents Describe your assessment context, experience with ePortfolios, and experience with Web 2.0 What do you want to learn about e-portfolios?
178. GoogleDocs Advantages Documents, presentations or spreadsheets can be edited Maintains a record of all revisions, with identity of author. Interactivity is maintained through comments and co-authoring. Easily embed presentations into blog. Convert all documents to Microsoft Office or OpenOffice or PDF. Disadvantages Set up own system for managing the feedback on student work. Requires full time high speed Internet access. No attachments, only hyperlinks to documents.
179. Review Examples of Scaffolding for Reflection http://sites.google.com/site/reflection4learning
183. Writing a Reflection - 1http://www.ncpublicschools.org/pbl/pblreflect.htm Select: What evidence/artifacts have you included? Describe: This step involves a description of the circumstances, situation or issues related to the evidence or artifact. Four "W" questions are usually addressed: Who was involved? What were the circumstances, concerns, or issues? When did the event occur? Where did the event occur?
184.
185. "How" of its relationship to teaching practiceAppraise: In the previous three steps, you have described and analyzed an experience, a piece of evidence, or an activity. The actual self-assessment occurs at this stage as you interpret the activity or evidence and evaluate its appropriateness and impact. Transform:This step holds the greatest opportunity for growth as you use the insights gained from reflection in improving and transforming your practice.
186. Reflection Prompt Create a blog entry with a link to at least one of the GoogleDocs documents you created. Reflect on how collaborative documents could be used to facilitate collaborative projects as well as feedback on student work.

Notas do Editor
I will be emphasizing this purpose for portfolio development.
There are the two major approaches to implementing e-portfolios. Janus is the Roman god of gates and doors, beginnings and endings, and hence represented with a double-faced head, each looking in opposite directions. He was worshipped at the beginning of the harvest time, planting, marriage, birth, and other types of beginnings, especially the beginnings of important events in a person's life. Janus also represents the transition between primitive life and civilization, between the countryside and the city, peace and war, and the growing-up of young people.
Spanish and Catalan
How do portfolios and reflection fit into the learning process?BEFORE - goal-setting (reflection in the future tense), DURING - immediate reflection (in the present tense), where students write (or dictate) the reason why they chose a specific artifact to include in their collectionAFTER - retrospective (in the past tense) where students look back over a collection of work and describe what they have learned and how they have changed over a period of time (in a Level 3 portfolio)
As defined in a JISC publication, Effective Practices with e-portfolios: The e-portfolio is the central and common point for the student experience… It is a reflection of the student as a person undergoing continuous personal development, not just a store of evidence. (Geoff Rebbeck, e-Learning Coordinator, Thanet College, quoted in JISC, 2008, Effective Practice with e-Portfolios)
Begin to develop successful ePortfolio Processes this week through your PD. Here are the strategies you need to include: Students develop multimedia artifacts through Project-Based Learning & Learning with Laptops.Engage students in reflection to facilitate deep learning through Digital Storytelling and Journals/Blogs & Presentation Portfolios.
Here is a digital story created at a workshop I conducted in NJ over 7 years ago.
