Helen Barrett's blog on E-portfolios in Elementary 2006
-
So those are the issues in K-12 schools. I'm not sure electronic portfolios will
work well in elementary schools until we get systems that are BOTH easy to use
and allow student creativity in presentation, something that doesn't exist
today. I've often said that e-portfolios will only happen if elementary teachers
have partners in the process, either parent involvement or older students to
assist the younger students to digitize their work, and to upload it to a
program.
I guess my question to you really focuses on WHY you want to
implement portfolios in elementary schools. If it is to support student learning
more about themselves through a reflective process, I am 110% behind you. But if
it is for large scale assessment, for purposes of reporting to external
audiences (primarily administrators, politicians and the general public), or
quantified just like traditional testing, then I am not as supportive. I think
high stakes accountability is killing portfolios for learning. I also think
teacher education programs who are only creating accountability portfolios are
"poisoning the well" by turning off a whole generation of teacher candidates to
using portfolios with their own students. I have anecdotal evidence that
students who create these Teacher Ed portfolios don't know how to create
learning portfolios with their own students. That tells me that there is no
authenticity in the accreditation/accountability portfolio process.

Creating Student Accounts Using One Gmail Account | The Edublogger
-
Educators can use one Gmail account to set up student blogs or sign up for
different online services using gmail’s support of plus addressing. How this
works is simple! Gmails ignores anything in the
first half of an email address after a plus sign so if you create
each email with the format username+studentname@gmail.com all
emails will be sent to the inbox of username@gmail.com. You can use
both text and numbers in the student names.
