It almost felt like I had given them an 'online voice' that they were destined to lose when they moved on to Secondary School. Your comment has helped me gather my thoughts on my experience and I think that this will be the subject matter of my next blog post. Thanks for this new comment, Ray

The information about Connected Learning Communities was really interesting .... and the 'Best Practice' section of the website was full of inspirational ideas. Please do keep me posted ..... and thanks for the offer for a visit to your school. If I can swing that, I'll be in touch :-) The UniServity website looks great – thanks for pointing me in that direction.

Having taken the trouble to help pupils build up an e-Portfolio, what happens if there is no 'portability' to the Secondary school or beyond? I doubt that promises of 'interoperability' will really materialise in the next 10-15 years! I think that it is very important to invest in a system that is future-proofed. I feel that children will get very frustrated if they have to start from scratch all over again when they move on to another school. But, as a Secondary (well, ex-) school teacher I really appreciate the fact that Primary school teachers are having to lay down foundations for e-Portfolio management which will go with them throughout their lives. Good on you all! Perhaps one important point missed so far is about longevity.

We won an award recently from Uniservity for innovation, creativity and for engaging the wider community but I'm certainly still learning. Are you familiar with Uniservity features? Pupils learn the technical side of it all really quickly which means we can get on and use them to encourage a more personalised learning journey. They're putting together a showcase so will keep you posted. I'm in Worcester if you'd like a visit? Great blog.

It sounds like you're well ahead as far as using these tools with your primary age children. I'd really love to find out more. I think? we're following each other on twitter? Any more information about your experience would be much appreciated ... I'd love some links to your pupils' blogs, forums, wikis, etc. Please keep in touch :-) Hi Eve – and thanks for the comment.
