ePortfolios: A Pilot ProgramEnglish and Theology 9th Grade Teachers

Why?
Students learn how to best represent themselves online.
Digital Footprint
Students engage in metacognition by reflecting on what they know
ePortfolios are accessible, can store multiple media, and are easy to update.
Vs.
Space - paperless!! Digital ePortfolios will replace resumes.
Students are using technology to build and create, so why not have them save/keep it here?
Allows for cross curricular student work.
Students take ownership of their
learning
Students choose the work that demonstrates their capabilities.(self selection is part of the learning process and ensures a more authentic reflection)
Being able to share with others (it's public!) is a motivator. Students like to display their work.
Teachers' Role
Provide department standards (file names, headings, etc.). However, look and feel should be up to the student! Guide reflection process.
Determine rubric for assessment.
Pilot Program
2011-2012
Students upload 1 piece of work (which was likely previously graded) per semester and provide a reflection.
Students provide summary of assignment or attach assignment instructions/rubric.
Moving on, this program will be expanded to all departments helping to show a rounded picture of students' abilities and special areas of interest.
2011-2012: Frosh
2012-2013: Frosh, Sophomores
2013-2014: Frosh, Sophomores, Juniors
2014-2015: Frosh, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors
Remember this is a pilot program.
We will learn together!
