I take your point Mark and of course agree; I kept it out of interest; I find it interesting to see how E-portfolios have evolved.
Mark Sheppard's comment, July 8, 2013 1:47 PM
Now this makes sense. I see similar evolutions in platforms like PebblePad and Mahara.
Ana Cristina Pratas's comment, July 8, 2013 6:28 PM
Glad you understand my reason to include this platform Mark; there are so many new tools and platforms coming out every week, that I begin seeing trends and am interested in seeing the evolution. It's all happening in a relatively short space of time. as we move forwards with ICT, and being on a brink of Web 3.0 ,I also find it of interest to have points of reference of tools/platforms which may have inspired/were a springboard for others. And as you very well point out, there was also an evolution from PebblePad and Mahara. We are priviledged to live in such exciting times :-) thank you too for adding/sharing your views and thought and furthering my own reflections. Much appreciated.
