Week 4 Reflection

After reading the article, Electronic Portfolios as Digital Stories of Deep Learning, I find what I relate to is assessment for learning (AFL) should be part of effecting planning of teaching and learning and that AFL should focus on how students learn.  I picked these two because if you use electronic portfolios as a way to assess and you do it correctly it can help you gain the knowledge of what the student is learning over a period of time.  It also, makes it a lot more interesting to the student. 

I believe using portfolio assessments has great potential, because you can keep track of what the students have learned and if they aren’t grasping what is being taught then you know what you need to expand on as a teacher.  Also, it can be a tool that is used over the period of the student’s education and it is great tools to be able to show/let them have access to parents to see what is going on in the classroom and assessing the students’ needs a little bit more accurately.

I believe creating my portfolio will help me keep track of what I learned at the beginning of the semester and see what I have gained throughout the semester.  I think it is a great tool to show off what technology I have been able to use and what I know about it.
