Abstract

It has been generally acknowledged that e-portfolios are primarily developed for ongoing learning, showcase, and assessment and that one e-portfolio system does not fit all purposes. If we are interested in the academic success and co-curricular accomplishments of our students through self-motivation, engagement, reflection, and ownership, then a learning portfolio nurtured over time has significant potential in being developed for life after graduation.

There are many e-portfolio tools and systems available, none of which provides the perfect solution to all institutional assessment and student learning needs. Google Sites for Education has only recently been considered for portfolio development but offers promising solutions to effectively build learning and showcase portfolios including artifact storage, privacy control, collaboration, reflection, and ownership. Although orientation, training, and ongoing support is strongly recommended, Google Sites is easy-to-use and provides built-in tools to insert evidence of extended learning from sources such as social media sites.

  3. I plan to use Google Sites to try to get my third grade students to create e-portfolios this coming school year... it will certainly be my jumping off point because my third graders have either autism or Down syndrome... Do you have input from other elementary educators on e-portfolios?

  4. Hi Morgan,

    I am sorry for having missed your comment. Your plan to engage your special students is exciting and I am sure they will find creative ways to communicate their accomplishments.

    Although the focus of my presentation at SUNY CIT was on higher ed e-portfolios, the concepts certainly apply to elementary students. These resources may be of help:

  12. Tracking capabilities are rated at 3.93 points. This indicates good performance - tracking systems provide detailed and up-to-date information on most parameters of shipments, and also often overcome national (both political and linguistic) barriers and can be qualified as international tracking systems. http://www.confiduss.com/en/jurisdictions/austria/infrastructure/
