Assessment tool: E-Portfolio
Type: summative
Grouping: individual
Purpose: This tool is to mark the growth of a students learning but within a digital medium. An e-portfolio is to reflect the digital age we live in and that students will be creating projects with various technologies. Portfolios should reflect this technological diversity instead of constricting them to paper and pen type artifacts.
Rationale: E-portfolio gives students the opportunity to assemble different representations of their work in a unit. By allowing them to choose the pieces, the teacher is providing them with self-regulation. Giving them opportunities to re-assess their own work and revise provides them with important self-assessment skills of the 21st century
21CLD connection: The medium of this tool is a reflection of the ICT present in our classrooms and in our students' lives. We must provide them a assessment medium to better reflect that diversity. In an e-portfolio it is also important to have them self-assess their work and look at ways to improve their strategies and skills. Taking their e-portfolios and publishing for other classmates or school members to see widens the impact of this assessment making it even more authentic. All of these are real world skills that are needed in classrooms and in workplaces.
