A great list of readings for weblogs put together by Charlie Lowe. Marvellous!
Continuing on the Portfolio theme
This posting by Graham Attwell mentioned the growing interest of eportfolio in Europe because of “an increased interest on personal learning” … “and of course it’s partly due to the ongoing pressure for lifelong learning”.
Attwell defines the following activities in developing a portfolio:
* Identifying learning and achievement
* Reflecting on learning and achievement
* Recording learning and achievement
* Validating learning and achievement
* Presenting learning and achievement
and the sentence that i find most interesting follows: “Assessing plays no part in this.” this really makes me ponder, does assessing a portfolio ‘kills’ a portfolio? if so, how are we going to resolve the assessment issue, which is one of the core concern of our teachers? *hmm*
