Kids love an audience. Give a kid an audience and you’re sure to get a show. What better audience could one have than the World Wide Web and what better way to “Show What You Know” than publishing via digital portfolios.

Yes, I think....

• e- portfolio benefit learning most effectivelly when consindered as part of a joined-up teaching learning approach, rather than as a discrete entity. The approach should include online repositories, planning and communication tools, and opportunities for both learners and teachers to draw out and present e-portfolios at particular times and for particular purpose. There is then likely to be substantial impact on both learning processes and learning outcomes (Becta, 2005).
• e-portfolio processes support both pastoral or social needs and curriculum outcomes
• e-portfolio processes and tools for organisation and communication support the learning outcomes of students with a wide range of abilities
• e-portfolio make progress and attainment more obvious to both teachers and learners, because viewing and revisiting the respository of work reveals development, achievements, strenghts and weaknesses
