I’m just ‘playing around’ with the ePortfolio idea it the moment. When I return to class next August, I hope to be able to do it more justice. Although I’ve set up a few small groups with a version of an ePortfolio, I’ve not had the time to have much input. I’ve been delighted, though, by the level of motivation shown my the children – despite the lack of support they’ve received.

I’d love to see examples of the Orkney ePortfolios. Maybe we could have a chat during the next few weeks via Skype or something? I’ll get in touch via email soon.

Have read you latest, including your Case Study, with great interest. However, I still think that you tend to confuse the disparate tools with what an e-Portfolio is actually supposed to do. Yes, blogging and wikis have their place but this is not an e-Portfolio which should ‘cherry-pick’ those artefacts, reflections, peer reviews, mentors’ feedbacks etc which are appropriate to present a rounded one-stop ‘This is ME!’

I would like to talk with you further, perhaps via other media, about the exciting progress of eFolio in the Orkneys. We have been working with a pilot group of Secondary students for some time now and are just begining a second phase with Yr7 pupils.
