The first article had many examples linked to it, but none of the ones I tried had working links. Bummer! I would really like to look at some of the sources, especially the one that lists universities with portfolio requirements. I wonder if it is for undergrads or professors. It might be an idea to start my seniors with ePortfolios.
The second article was the same. I had to download a program to see the video, but I would rather not do that on my home PC. I will have to come back to this one!
I found the discussion on paradigm shift to be very interesting. Portfolios that reflect the acheivement against standards, and the portfolio that show what the student has learned according to goals they have or have set for them. It is hard to make the distinction on paper, but I think I understand the important differences.
Eportfolios seem to be the way to go, so to speak, when recording information about a student's progress. It would support the constructivist philosophy of teaching. The struggle I sometimes have with traditionally minded students is that they want the answers and the questions and then a test. That is learning to them because that is what they are good at. I have been brainstorming ways to counter that culture. Eportfolios would support that goal.
