Digital Identity
• Creating a positive digital footprint
Purpose
  • The overarching purpose
    of portfolios is to create a
    sense of personal
    ownership over one’s
    accomplishments,
    because ownership
    engenders feelings of
    pride, responsibility, and
    dedication. (p.10)

Practice
                 Have an experience


                                  Reflect on the experience
Try out what you

          Learn from the experience
“metacognition lies at the
       root of all learning”
“…self-knowledge, awareness of how and why
we think as we do, and the ability to adapt and
      learn, are critical to our survival as
                 individuals…”

Capture the Moment with Mobile Phones
   • SMS messages         • Camera
     – Twitter posts        – Still
     – Facebook updates     – video
Why Mobile is a Must
• Kids today are captivated by the personalization and
  socialization of online tools--the ability to build large
  networks of friends; share their thoughts, feelings, and goals;
  and communicate as they wish. …And not only is it possible,
  it's possible anytime and anywhere, via a plethora of devices
  and widely available cellular and WiFi networks.
• The upshot is, these digital natives now have in their hands
  the tools to shape their own education in once unimagined
  ways. They have the ability to interact with other learners at
  their convenience, with differences in time and place
  presenting no hurdle. They can research, on the spot, any
  topic of interest. And they can capture the moment, whether
  it's in a picture, a video, or a blog entry.
                • -- Mary McCaffrey “Why Mobile is a Must” T.H.E. Journal
                 http://thejournal.com/articles/2011/02/08/why-mobile-is-a-must.aspx
Posted on ePortfolio Conversations
           Google Group:
• Question: How to collect evidence of
  informal learning rather than formal
  education.
• Response: "Start with SMS [on mobile
  phones] - it’s the morse code
  of the present
  generation...
  and it works.”
What functions can be achieved with mobile
      phones for each of these processes?
• Capturing & storing evidence - this evidence of learning can be in
  the form of text, images, audio or video
• Reflecting - “the heart and soul of a portfolio” - this reflection could
  be captured in real time in different formats: writing, voice capture
  (and voice-to-text conversion), video capture and digital stories
• Giving & receiving feedback - one of the most effective uses of a
  portfolio is to review a learner’s work and providing feedback for
  improvement
• Planning & setting goals - a very important part of the portfolio
  process is personal development planning and setting goals for
  achievement
• Collaborating - learning is a social activity - technology provides
  new forms of collaboration
• Presenting to an audience - at specific points in the learning
  process, a learner may put together a presentation of their learning
  outcomes for an audience, either real or virtual
Mobile Web is becoming the
   Personal Learning Environment
      of the “Net Generation”
Learning that is…
oSocial and Participatory
oLifelong and Life Wide
oIncreasingly Self-Directed
oMotivating and Engaging
o… and Online all the time!

Why Mobile is a Must • Kids today are captivated by the personalization and socialization of online tools--the ability to build large networks of friends; share their thoughts, feelings, and goals; and communicate as they wish. …And not only is it possible, it's possible anytime and anywhere, via a plethora of devices and widely available cellular and WiFi networks. • The upshot is, these digital natives now have in their hands the tools to shape their own education in once unimagined ways. They have the ability to interact with other learners at their convenience, with differences in time and place presenting no hurdle. They can research, on the spot, any topic of interest. And they can capture the moment, whether it's in a picture, a video, or a blog entry. • -- Mary McCaffrey “Why Mobile is a Must” T.H.E. Journal http://thejournal.com/articles/2011/02/08/why-mobile-is-a-must.aspx
  • 48. Posted on ePortfolio Conversations Google Group: • Question: How to collect evidence of informal learning rather than formal education. • Response: "Start with SMS [on mobile phones] - it’s the morse code of the present generation... and it works.”
  • 49. What functions can be achieved with mobile phones for each of these processes? • Capturing & storing evidence - this evidence of learning can be in the form of text, images, audio or video • Reflecting - “the heart and soul of a portfolio” - this reflection could be captured in real time in different formats: writing, voice capture (and voice-to-text conversion), video capture and digital stories • Giving & receiving feedback - one of the most effective uses of a portfolio is to review a learner’s work and providing feedback for improvement • Planning & setting goals - a very important part of the portfolio process is personal development planning and setting goals for achievement • Collaborating - learning is a social activity - technology provides new forms of collaboration • Presenting to an audience - at specific points in the learning process, a learner may put together a presentation of their learning outcomes for an audience, either real or virtual

  1. Adjectives to describe purpose
  2. Electronic Portfolios have been with us for almost two decades (since 1991) used primarily in education to store documents and reflect on learning, provide feedback for improvement, and showcase achievements for accountability or employment.As defined in a JISC publication, Effective Practices with e-portfolios: The e-portfolio is the central and common point for the student experience… It is a reflection of the student as a person undergoing continuous personal development, not just a store of evidence. (Geoff Rebbeck, e-Learning Coordinator, Thanet College, quoted in JISC, 2008, Effective Practice with e-Portfolios)
  3. How is social networking impacting ePortfolio development? It is having a huge impact on our social and political world!Social networks have emerged over the last five years, and are used by individuals and groups to store documents and share experiences, showcase accomplishments, communicate and collaborate with friends and family, and, in some cases, facilitate employment searches.[Erin’s story – Messiah – feedback immediate.]
  4. The boundaries are blurring between eportfolios and social networks. As we consider the potential of lifelong e-portfolios, will they resemble the structured accountability systems that are currently being implemented in many educational institutions? Or are we beginning to see lifelong interactive portfolios emerging as… mash-ups in the Web 2.0 cloud, using Blogs or wikis or Twitter, Facebook or Ning, Flickr or Picasa or YouTube, etc.?
  5. So I’d like you to think: What are the engagement factors that drive the use of social networks and how can we incorporate those factors into ePortfolios?
  6. Portfolios in Formal Education: Exploring Personal and Professional IdentityBuilding a Professional Online Brand.
  7. Who knows what this means?
  8. Success in the knowledge economy comes to those who know themselves – their strengths, their values, and how best they perform.
  9. Reflection = higher retention (SPU’s iTunesU videos)
  10. In his newest book still to be released, called From Brain to Mind: Using Neuroscience to Guide Change in Education, coming out in May
  11. How do we implement ePortfolios in a manner that engages students and helps achieve the purposes?
  12. Japanese!
  13. We have witnessed a revolution in mobile computing this year with the iPad. But most of the world has plain mobile phone.
  14. Common Tools vs. Proprietary systems
  15. I’m not convinced that deep reflection can be represented in 140-160 characters of a tweet or SMS message. But this format can be an effective way to document process over time --to capture the moment-- and can later be aggregated and analyzed for deeper understanding. As a current example, the tweets that were coming out of Egypt prior to February 11 told a very compelling story of the revolution as it was happening (as curated and retweeted by PBS’s Andy Carvin [@acarvin] - an incredible service!). We have seen the power of digital media in social change; it can also be part of individual transformation through understanding oneself and showcasing achievements in reflective portfolios. “tiny bursts of learning”: http://chrisbetcher.com/2011/04/1483/
