The E portfolio and student engagement.

Can my boys really do this??
Can they enagage?
Wang 2009 e- portfolios.
I thought I understood what this was about, I was entirely wrong. I thought that it was very similar to a digital portfolio as in design or art subjects, but its more than that.
• Its documented artefacts.
• A document that ( kolb 1984) structures learning through a model that uses a circle of reflective thought
• The success also lies in the nature of the student/ learner to analyse of the situation, it is relative subjective and at the mercy of the students ability to engage and synthesise.
• The act of organising this information is evidence enough of their being sufficient domain knowledge.
• More skills must be developed that go beyond the very issue of just representing and passive engagement.
• I hope this is what I can avoid and hopefully I can engage more.




Val Klenowski, Sue Askew, Eillen Carnell 2007 Portfolios for learning
Okmain points:
• Demonstrates achievement and the relationship between learning and teaching within the portfolio.
• It holds all the concepts related to CRT.
• Focus on professional practice, collect evidence of competencies, reflect on professional learning
• Incorporate professional literature review identify professional issues.
• The folio is great at illustrating to the learner exactly what they observe of their own learning, and how that differs to other concepts of learning.
• It captures the uniqueness of the learner’s story.
• The learner according to Watkins et al., 1996 meta learning dialogueCarnell& Lodge 2002 construct meaning from their own reflection on their experience.
• The role of the tutor provide support and the establishment of a learning community.

I understand this now, do however, wish I could incorporate this into my own teaching with year 9. They are so hard to engage that this might be novel or innovate enough o spark something.
It will be interesting to see how the process of constructing my portfolio illustrates my own understanding. I hope that I can engage and project my own understanding on a level that is adequate for the course. Will this really measure my relationship with the knowledge?
