BLOG-3

I picked reading "Publishing Student Work" from Teaching with Wikis, Blogs, Podcasts, and More. This relates to chapter 4 from today in our Williamson textbook. I think that this chapter to extremely brief and maybe even too short to fully understand if you had no prior knowledge, unlike us here at Johnson University.

This is a very short chapter on E-portfolios. There are two types of electronic portfolios:

• Working Portfolio - A collection of student's work, usually arranged with m ost recent work first and new work added as it is completed. This enables students to reflect back on their work.
• Presentation Portfolio - Created for a purpose or audience; the portfolio is the product.

A working portfolio provides an opportunity for students to look back and review things they had previously learned. This could be very resourceful for reviews before tests. This books gives a procedure list for how to set up an E-portfolio. There is also a list of tips which are ideas for classroom use.

This would be an easy option to use in class if you have a class set of computers and you would probable need a scanner. I could see myself using this as a review for maybe a specific subject. Also, this would be a great place to display student work so parents can go view the wonderful things their students are completing. I would be very interested in possible, safe E-portfolios that the students could use in my classroom in the future.
