Can you make all four of these come up at the same time as you do the essential question slides? I like to keep them all the same.
* Essential Questions:
*1. What strategies can best ensure that you will maintain an interest and commitment to the creation and upkeep of an e-portfolio?
*2. Who is the audience? What is the desired result of the interaction with the e-portfolio? Where will the portfolio exist online?
*3.How can the e-portfolio encourage teachers/students to reflect on their learning?
*Essential Questions
*4. If you don’t use an e-portfolio, what will you use instead? Will it work for you? Will it be relevant in 5 years?
*5. Would there be benefits to your entire school using a single e-portfolio platform? Multiple platforms?
*6. What do you need to do to help administrators understand the value of your e-portfolio?
*Definition
An e-portfolio is “a digitized collection of artifacts, including demonstrations, resources, and accomplishments that represent an individual, group, or institution” (Lorenzo and Ittelson 2005).
Wall and Phillips adds that the e-portfolio is one in “which the person or organization has reflected […] a presentation to one or more audiences for a particular rhetorical purpose” (Dekson and Suresh, 22).
