After reading the following article Electronic Portfolios as Digital Stories of Deep Learning ,
I can say, that I can relate to focusing on how students learn. I think that this is very important especially in my classroom. Student-centered learning is important to me because it focuses on the student's needs, abilities, interests, and learning styles. In which, me as the teacher as the facilitator of learning. By giving students centered learning it allows them to be responsible to their own learning.
This week I have been introduced to portfolio assessments and really like the idea. I think that its a great way to see progress with students learning. Not only to see what students have learned, but it's important work over a period of time they have demonstrated to become their best works. This assessment is much different than the standardized test pencil and paper. Making a change using technology can leave an effective impact on students learning.
This week I created my portfolio site, it's no where near finished but it's a work in progress. I think that by creating a portfolio online will help me in so many ways. For one, I am improving my learning, I have never created or knew of an online portfolio assessment. I know that when this class is finished I will be able to look back and see my progress over the semester and add to it. I'm looking forward to using this for my students once I get more familiar with the tools.
