Nick Urban's curator insight, July 17, 2015 4:05 PM

I found this one personally interesting because I tried to have my students journal at least once a week for world history class to summarize and connect the main learning ideas of the week or chapter to help them build knowledge. Some students enjoyed this process, but found the means of doing so very bland. This journal app would allow for students to individualize their learning and journals in a more meaningful way to them. I think it would also help to ensure that students remember when the information is due!  I may just scoop this up for my class this upcoming year.

It's Time to Create Digital Portfolios

It's Time to Create Digital Portfolios | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it
Digital Student Portfolios are becoming more important now than ever! Students are creating and remixing information like never before – and where is all that amazing work going? At my old school it was wiped off the devices at the end of the year – a heart-wrenching idea that I was personally against. This is why we need to publish student work in one place and let it serve as a home of student reflection, and a become a destination to unleash student pride and curiosity.

There are many reasons to begin the journey to digital portfolios – here are just a few.

Tony Bates: Resources on e-portfolios

Tony Bates: Resources on e-portfolios | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

Tony Bates:

 

"In education, a ‘portfolio’ refers to a personal collection of information describing, documenting and recording a person’s achievements and learning. Portfolios are used for many different purposes such as a tool for evaluating leaning, for accreditation of prior experience, for continuing professional development, to assist a job application, or for a certification of competences acquired through a course or from work experience . An educational portfolio is mainly used to encourage personal reflection and involves the exchange of ideas and feedback. Many people have already used some kind of portfolio. Most of them have built a portfolio to collect evidence required to get certificates or to show what they have learned in a concrete situation or training. The development of information and learning technologies has led to the development of digital portfolios or electronic portfolios, commonly referred as e-Portfolios."
