And
“Creative reflection on practice”
Kirk, C and Pitches, J. 2013. Digital reflection: using digital technologies to enhance and embed creative processes. Technology, Pedagogy and Education, Volume 22, Issue 2
Reflection technologies:
“technologies that enable students to 'look and listen again' to their digital artefacts, a process that encourages them to reflect not only on the learning itself, but also on the process by which they came to that learning”

Social media as evidence
Towards a better understanding of social
storytelling
#SocialStory
“I've done a blog to reflect on learning which includes images for a specific course. I quite liked it but was nervous about posting my ideas out in cyberspace..”
“I've heard academics report positively about using digital story telling in the healthcare profession for reflecting on critical incidents. The staff and students
seemed to be really positive about their experiences. ”
#SocialStory
Survey question: Should social media be considered as evidence in personal and/or professional portfolios? If yes, under what conditions?
“I´m not sure about how it could be implemented but it could be a valuable resource.”
“Yes providing the comments are not trolling or offensive. If they are constructive then it should be seen as a form of feedback and engaging with feedback is a very useful exercise.”
“Yes, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter can be used as part an employers remit.”
