Billy talks about ePortfolios

Without wishing to embarrass Billy, I thought I'd share Mr Hawes' recent interview with him about the value of creating and maintaining an ePortfolio. Billy has some top tips for anyone who wishes to showcase their work online and reach a real audience. Check it out!

Seb's ePortfolio Presentation

This presentation by our very own Seb Wallis is a great explanation about how he created his ePortfolio using Weebly. Seb took to this task like the proverbial duck to water and has created an excellent, media rich site. This video was made to help him gain a very high mark for this unit of work. It proves two things:

1. Evaluations don't always need to be written documents (and can often be more exciting and engaging when they are presented live)
2. Seb is a very skilled communicator and has a real sense of pride in his web authoring abilities

We have experimented with using podcasting (using Audioboo on the iPhone) as another alternative to written evaluations during this unit. The new iPod Nanos with a video camera and the PSPs with camera attachment are other ways in which handheld technologies can assist is capturing students' learning experiences in a very immediate way. The advantage of this, apart from it being more direct and engaging, is that the resulting multimedia files can shared with a much wider audience.

A Halloween themed ePortfolio

Nice work Mr Wallis. Even the Voki has been redesigned complete with dangling spider and spooky message. Very clever!
