This document discusses using mobile apps to support e-portfolio development through reflection, goal-setting, and capturing learning experiences. It provides examples of apps for iOS and Android that allow students to store evidence, reflect, collaborate, and present their learning. Key apps mentioned include Evernote, WordPress, Edmodo, and Google Drive for capturing and organizing content, as well as tools like Prezi, Voicethread and iMovie for presenting learning. The document emphasizes that e-portfolios should allow student choice, voice, and a digital story of deep learning. Mobile devices expand the possibilities for just-in-time reflection and presentation of learning anywhere.
8. E-Portfolios should allow
CHOICE and VOICE!
• Individual
Identity
• Reflection
• Meaning Making
• 21st Century Literacy
• Digital Story of Deep Learning
9. Portfolio as Story
"A portfolio tells a story.
It is the story of knowing. Knowing
about things... Knowing oneself...
Knowing an audience... Portfolios are
students' own stories of what they
know, why they believe they know it,
and why others should be of the same
opinion.”
(Paulson & Paulson, 1991, p.2)

18. 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.

26. What functions can be achieved with mobile
devices 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
