Lesson 3: Collection

I am convinced that soon mobile devices will become portable electronic portfolios. My students are such experts in the gadgets they use that they might already have a large collection of evidence of their everyday life. I just need (1) to engage them to apply that expertise to the subject I teach to create their electronic portfolio, and (2) to enhance their intrinsic motivation to use technology. As for reflection, mobile devices might not be the best type of technology to gather evidence about my students learning process; however, that can be the first step to the reflective stage, as Dr. Barrett stated in one of her articles.

On the other hand, although I found this lesson very difficult because of the amount of technological information, I liked the videos and the “tour” through the different tools that can be used to create electronic portfolios. The pros and cons table was very useful.
