- Character: The combination of emotional, intellectual, and moral qualities that distinguishes an individual.
- Many of us use the cloud, or cloud-based applications, without even being aware of it. Advances in computer science to ensure redundancy and protection from natural disasters have led to data being shared across many different hosting facilities. Improved infrastructure has made the cloud robust and reliable; as usage grows, the cloud is fundamentally changing our notions of computing and communication.
- Part of a trend that began with simple innovations like personalized start pages, RSS aggregation, and customizable widgets, the personal web is a term coined to represent a collection of technologies that confer the ability to reorganize, configure and manage online content rather than just viewing it. Using a growing set of free and simple tools and applications, it is easy to create customized, personal web-based environments — a personal web — that explicitly supports one’s social, professional, learning and other activities via highly personalized windows to the networked world
- Google Wave is a new model for communication and collaboration on the web, coming later this year.
- The architecture of interaction, that is the foundation of Web 2.0, can also facilitate a pedagogy of interaction, through the use of those technologies to support interpersonal communication. There are also emerging technologies, such as Second Life, that create virtual environments that have untapped (and unresearched) potential for lifelong learning.
- Below is a scenario for a lifelong, life wide approach to lifetime personal web space, electronic portfolios, online videos and digital stories.
- As shown here, a "digital archive for life" can follow an individual from informal learning in the family (and the popular development of scrapbooks), into formal education and professional development, and serve as a "memory enhancer" as we reach our post-retirement years. But not with our current user interfaces!!
- Families are the cornerstone of society and therefore should be the centerpiece of any record of human development. Every family could have a digital repository where they store all manner of digital records and memorabilia. This digital archive becomes the centerpiece of their storage of significant data about each family members’ growth and development.
- When a new child is born, a family opens up a new space in their online family webspace to begin storing the important digital artifacts of this new life (a folder? A new tag?). Of course, there are the first pictures and videos of this new life, often created by grandparents present, or shared with grandparents who live far away. Many parents today already establish websites to celebrate the arrival of a new family member. This webspace provides a place to both store and catalog the treasured digital photos that many parents/grandparents now collect of their children as they grow, marking milestones in development.
- There are two primary purposes for assessment in schools: formative and summative. E-Portfolios systems can be used to support both types.
- Once a child reaches school age, there are even more opportunities for collecting digital documentation of development, only now in partnership with the school. Children bring many treasures home from school, created as part of their school activities. What happens to most of these artifacts? In many homes, they go into a box, stored for a future time when the importance will eventually fade, and they are often thrown out, or destroyed in the case of the rare fire or flood. Some teachers say that for some students, the work never leaves a student’s backpack (parents don’t know what to do with this work). Sometimes the favorite work takes up residence on the family’s refrigerator door (the most ubiquitous portfolio container in the home?)!
- As children mature, they can take responsibility for storing and organizing their own work; they can develop different views of this work for different purposes, such as student-led conferences with parents and teachers. In addition to work created with paper and pencil (text and images), students can also capture process, through audio and video artifacts. These artifacts provide an opportunity for including student voice in their work, both literally and rhetorically.
- “ More significantly the portfolio can be a vehicle for empowering students to take increasing responsibility for their own learning. It can assist with the development of student self esteem through providing a means for them to display work of which they are proud;”
- At transition points, such as graduation from elementary school, middle school, or high school, a student might organize a summary document, with highlights from that educational experience, told in the students’ own voice, in a format that incorporates the design creativity that is available on their social networking site. An important component of that transition portfolio would be setting personal and academic goals for the future. There is some research and curriculum developed for the Washington Office of Public Instruction (2007), that shows personal goal-setting can increase academic achievement. A modified version of a shared goal-setting environment, similar to “43 Things” might provide opportunities for student networking about their goals. The widespread use of blogs also provide the space where individuals can reflect on their growth over time.
- There are two primary purposes for assessment in schools: formative and summative. E-Portfolios systems can be used to support both types.
- Janus is the Roman god of gates and doors, beginnings and endings, and hence represented with a double-faced head, each looking in opposite directions. He was worshipped at the beginning of the harvest time, planting, marriage, birth, and other types of beginnings, especially the beginnings of important events in a person's life. Janus also represents the transition between primitive life and civilization, between the countryside and the city, peace and war, and the growing-up of young people.
- Portfolios in the workplace are less well-defined. Some professions are known to support portfolio development, such as those that involve producing a product, pieces of artwork, websites, pieces of music, etc. Portfolios have been used to accredit adult self-directed learning. Portfolios can be used in personnel evaluation activities. Adult learners with a lifelong personal digital collection have the raw materials to pull together stories of their independent learning activities.
- A portfolio is, literally, a balanced collection of holdings related to one person, such as financial assets, job responsibilities, artistic works, and accomplishments. It’s something portable, something you carry with you. The portfolio represents the whole. It represents what you have or have done as an expression of who you are. (p.4)
- Now we have come full circle in the life cycle. When young adults establish their own families, this digital archive continues to grow, merging data together when a new family is formed. The digital archive can hold digital photos, important digital video clips, and audio recordings. From this repository, individuals have the resources to construct autobiographical “legacy” stories or personal histories about their lives, preserving these stories for future generations. Joe Lambert, of the Center for Digital Storytelling, has stated that in the future, creating digital stories of personal experiences will the hobby of many people, especially as they reach retirement age [get exact quote]. The Association of Personal Historians has a mission of “saving lives, one story at a time.”
- My final wish to you is that all your electronic portfolios become dynamic celebrations and stories of deep learning across the lifespan.
- I welcome your dialogue and conversation about these ideas. I’m waiting to respond to your questions! Thank you very much!
