The document outlines Elm Park School's vision for e-learning, which aims to enable students to become 21st century learners, increase engagement and achievement, and provide evidence of learning. It discusses using e-portfolios for students to showcase goals, reflections, evidence and content. Teachers can provide comments, discussions, reflections and feedback on achievements and student-led conferences. E-portfolios and learning journals will track students' reading, writing, numeracy and showcase work. The process of reflecting and improving on learning through e-portfolio creation is the central goal, not the technology itself.

9. The e-Portfolio itself is not the most important
aspect, it is the process of commenting,
reflecting and improving on learning that
happens as the e-Portfolio is created that is the
central goal.
The formative nature of the e-Portfolios places
the emphasis on effective pedagogy not
technology.

Once goals are set the students use these tools to upload evidence/artifacts and make reflections on their learning.\n
No printed reports, other than 6 weeks at school and Year 6 reference. Meet the teacher/goal setting with parents at beginning of year, student led conference mid and end of year. General comments learning journal also included.\n
