Five Ways to Use Online Portfolios in the Classroom | Edutopia:


I have been contemplating the use of online portfolios for awhile now... but I just can't seem to get started!  Mostly because the task seems rather daunting!

In an article by Heather Hiles from edutopia titled "Five ways to Use Online Portfolios in the Classroom", she discusses 5 key points to consider when implementing the use of online portfolios.

Armed with this information, I feel a little more brave about using portfolios and will definitely explore their use more.

How about you?  Any of you have any success stories or pointers as to how to implement online portfolios?

I have been a follower of Bruce Oliver and "Just ASK" for a few years now.  The information offered covers everything from the classroom to educational leadership.  Recently he presented an article about "Technology as an Instructional Tool".  As I read through the article it was nice to see that I am using some of the technologies that are discussed.  There are 7 individuals who responded to the question: "What technological tools and applications have you used or seen used that have made the greatest impact on student learning in rigorous and relevant ways?"  A nice part of the article is a list of the technologies mentioned along with links.

So, what are some of the technologies you are using and how are they improving the education of your students?
