Goals?

The goals...

“The Assessment for learning turns day-to-day assessment into a teaching and learning process

that enhances (instead of merely monitoring) student learning.

The goal of assessment for learning is not to eliminate failure, but rather to keep failure from becoming

chronic and thus inevitable in the mind of the learner

And...

The goals...

"electronic portfolios are much more than innovative resumes or scrapbooks... eportfolios show "reflection, evolution of thought, and professional development"

“An electronic portfolio provides an environment where students can: collect their work in a digital archive; select specific pieces of work (hyperlink to artifacts) to highlight specific achievements; reflect on the learning demonstrated in the portfolio, in either text or multimedia form; set goals for future learning (or direction) to improve; and celebrate achievement through sharing this work with an audience, whether real or virtual. When used in formative, classroom-based assessment, teachers (and peers) can review the portfolio document, and provide formative feedback to students on where they could improve”

The core?

The core...

More?

ePortefolio’s“An eportfolio can be a web-based information management system that uses electronic media and services. The learner builds and maintains a digital repository of artifacts, which they can use to demonstrate competence and reflect on their learning. Having access to their records, digital repository, feedback and reflection students can achieve a greater understanding of their individual growth, career planning and CV building.”

e-Portefolios... some metaphores...

Toothbrush - A habit of mind, something you do every day.

Caterpillar (or Acorn or Seed) - An emerging form... undergoing metamorphasis through personal growth... from a caterpillar to a butterfly; from an acorn to a tree; from a seed to a flower or plant.

Kaleidoscope - E-Portfolio as Kaleidoscopic Process: Reflective View from Self to Global Society

Just as a kaleidoscope needs light to view the endless possiblities of visual combinations of the colored glass, an e-portfolio provides the illumination for the learner to view the endless possibilities of the potential views and connections of her/his learning experience from self to global society.

Confessional - "A place where the student can quietly and privately recount acts of commission and omission and confess such to a selected audience. It is a place of catharsis and refreshment. Upon leaving this sanctuary the student is inspired to new levels of enlightenment and endeavour." (contributed by Ray Tolley, ICT Education Consultant Maximise-ICT)

e-Portefolios... some metaphores...

A Constant Companion - "People often work best at the strangest of times or places. We are not all constructed like robots to think only between the hours of 9 to 5 at our office desk. The e-Portfolio is a companion or familiar friend to whom we can turn at any hour of the day or night, anywhere, anywhen." (contributed by Ray Tolley, ICT Education Consultant Maximise-ICT)

Digital Theatre - It is my digital theatre - where the audience is by invitation only. (contributed by Ray Tolley, ICT Education Consultant Maximise-ICT)
