Technology Play 2

E-Portfolios allow developing professionals to curate their learning over time. Electronic Portfolios are a perfect fit for lifelong learning because they are more permanent than paper. They also allow many different types of media to represent student learning and allow for more student mastery of learning goals. Traditional assessments can fit into an E-Portfolio but they are not the entire Portfolio. As part of my undergate program at Texas Tech I created an E-Portfolio using Taskstream. I found the work very boring because the limitations didn’t allow for creativity. I prefer to create an E-Portfolio because it allows me to show potential employers my work using a technology platform. In the creation process I am allowed to explore different technology which results in meaningful learning. This week I attended a Google Syndicate Professional Development and it exposed me to Google Sites. During our exploration time I used Google Sites and was amazed at how easy it was to use. I use Google Suites almost daily so I decided Google Sites would be a great fit for me because I have Google Schema. I would not select a different tool for my students to use because it is very user friendly, and my students have a basic understanding of Google Suites. Google Sites uses a drag and drop method and is very user friendly. The hardest part is creating subpages for a page of the website. Google Sites also allows you to add multiple editors to a page, which allows grade level teams to collaborate when curating or creating. Morgan Montano’s E- Portfolio
