Day 11

Now I understand why we always have a reflection piece with the work we turn in! I have always believed it useful, but now I see that is the norm across the educational community. These articles helped me to understand sources for portfolio contents and the file structure for those contents. As I'm reading these articles, I can't help but think about how I would explain this process to my students. I would have to teach them file structure and some software. I think I would make all the platforms the same--probably powerpoint. I wonder if digital portfolios could be created in google docs so that we don't have to use server space? Students could make me a collaborator and then future teachers could be made collaborators. Hey! Then the teacher wouldn't have to move students digital folders around--the students would be responsible for it! I have had trouble using google for its presentation program, but this would be an interesting idea! Then any computer could read it and the student could change it around from anywhere!! Can students save movies to google, too, and use that in presentations? I will have to find out!!
