Why use an E-portfolio? (5303)

Why do we use e-portfolios? Well, we use them to display our accomplishments. I believe educators and students can benefit from this tool in personal and professional development. According to Ross Miller and Wende Morgaine, "Reflection on work saved in e-portfolios can

• build learners’ personal and academic identities as they complete complex projects and reflect on their capabilities and progress,

• facilitate the integration of learning as students connect learning across courses and time,

• be focused on developing self-assessment abilities in which students judge the quality of work using the same criteria experts use,

• help students plan their own academic pathways as they come to understand what they know and are able to do and what they still need to learn."

I have to be honest, I have never created an e-portfolio before so this will be my first time.
