Along with all of the research I did on Assessment for Learning and e-portfolios this week I realized how important mobile technology has become. We were without power for almost 48 hours this week because of the snow. Luckily the roads were clear enough that I was able to take my laptop to McDonald's and get in a little bit of work.
I was really interested in all 10 of the principles of AFL but I chose to focus on AFL develops learners' capacity for self-assessment so that they can become reflective and self-managing because as a teacher of first graders I am not used to learners being self-managing.
I can see a lot of benefits of to using portfolio assessments. I have used portfolios in my classroom for years but by doing them electronically it makes them more permanent. I would love to see electronic student portfolios that could follow them through-out their school career. I can see my personal portfolio being useful when I graduate and get ready to begin applying for librarian positions. I think school administration would be interested in seeing the products that I am compiling in my e-portfolio. Creating this personal portfolio is making me really put some thought into the reasoning behind the products that I am producing for this class and will continue to make me put extra thought into my future assignments.
