Essential Question: How to use efolios for student learning and assessment? How to use efolios for teacher reflection and communicating one’s professional profile?
In this show, David and Mark begin a conversation about eFolios for both students and educators. In this part one, we focus on eFolios in teacher preparation and for professional efolios for experienced teachers.
Tips of the Week> Mark: Wikispaces is a wonderful wiki service for teachers. Wikspaces provides a low threshold means for teachers to collaborate, publishing and share student work online with a high ceiling. They offer free upgraded individual accounts for teachers as well as excellent private label service for schools. David: Andrea Smith’s eFolio is a great example of a professional efolio.
