Revised presentation to introduce eportfolios to Using ICT in Ed class: primarly to intro creating a professional eportfolio

1. ePortfolios
What? Why? How?

2. What & Why?
For students:
An assessment tool for formative & summative
assessment. The student collects evidence of
learning & reflects on their learning.
Professional:
Teacher portfolio that showcases
skills, background etc. with the goal of
obtaining employment.

3. Student Portfolios
Portfolios are increasingly common in schools &
electronic portfolios are growing in popularity since
they can include video, audio in addition to more
traditional elements.
ePortfolios can take many forms, in Manitoba ePearl is
a popular platform supported by MB Ed.
See ICT@BU google site for resources & information.

6. How?
Offline:
using PowerPoint, Keynote, Flash, html or similar
product.
Online:
options from creating your own site
to using tools like Wordpress, Google
Sites, Weebly, Yola …

8. Some ideas:
A welcome page
Personal info, goals
Resume (highlights & rest as pdf or all?)
Experience: work, teaching, volunteer, etc
Teaching philosophy
Professional learning (include some info: what
was it about? Reflection – what did you learn?)
• Artifacts: student teaching
reports, notes, lesson examples, activities, ICT
items…
• Classroom Management plan?
• Sell yourself – include things you have done
that might get you an interview/job

9. Remember!
This is a dynamic, evolving artifact.
Keep it:
• current,
• workable (no broken links),
• dynamic,
• aesthetically pleasing,
• simple/clear navigation,
• use colour, graphics,
• include REFLECTIONS!
• Remember the audience!

10. One more suggestion….
When you save files to include as
attachments (resume, etc.) convert to a
pdf & include it that way.
Good luck!
