Tech Play 2

An e-portfolio (electronic portfolio) is an electronic collection of evidence that shows your learning journey over time. Portfolios can relate to specific academic fields or your lifelong learning. I believe that an e-portfolio would be more meaningful then creating a regular paper copy. By creating an e-portfolio you can always go back and make changes or add more information, verses creating a paper portfolio it would be harder to make changes. E-portfolios can last a life time and it can display your learning’s throughout your educational career. E-portfolios can show long term growth and progression over time. It allows the students and teacher to reflect on what the student has learned throughout the year. E-portfolios can be life-long because you can always go back and view it or add to it whenever you decide.
I chose to use Weebly for my e-portfolio. The reason I chose is because it looked user friendly and it seemed like it would make a really nice portfolio. There are so many different features to use on the Weebly. A few of the features that you can use to help create your e-portfolio are themes, pages, layout, title, images, backgrounds, text, links, and so much more.
I currently teach first grade so I wouldn’t have my students make an e-portfolio because an e-portfolio would be too advance for first graders. But if I taught high school or college level I would definitely have my student make an e-portfolio because they would be able to display and reflect on their learning’s and once they graduate they are still able to add to it. An e-portfolio can also act as a remembrance of one’s educational background. Sometimes people like to look back on what they have learned or accomplished and by making an e-portfolio students will be able to reflect on previous learning’s.
