  1. Implemented in Education By: Lauren Bilenky, Brittiany Bolden, Bryan Trumbo and Jennifer Weber ISTC 201.013

  2. Thesis: E-Folios Should be Implemented in Education Because of the: • Applications to and uses in education • Benefits for students in school and their future careers • Resulting in the need of teachers to focus on the: 3. Reasons why they use e-folios 4. How to implement this technology in the classroom 5. Which type of teaching e-folio to use

  3. Applications to and Uses in Education • Identification- maintaining and updating work and accomplishments • Assessment- no hard copy, no piles of paper • Evaluation- ongoing due to identification • Communication- between teachers (from evaluation and assessment), peers, parents and anyone (McCaughey, 1997)

  4. Benefits for Students in School • Three metaphors of E-folios: • Mirror • Map • Sonnet • Other benefits: - Children take pride - Feelings of ownership - Rise in Self Esteem - Learn from Peers through Group work (Barrett, 2006)

  5. Benefits for Future • Jobs • Helps with the Interview process • You can show your e-folio instead of your resume • Keeps you organized with one e-folio, compared to many copies or papers • College • Since the nineties, e-folios have been growing popular. (Dowling, 2000) • Towson University is making the production of an e-folio a graduation requirement.

  6. Reasons Teachers Use E-folios • Guides children in learning • Documents a student’s growth over time • Makes students more independent • Keeps teachers organized and on task when teaching • Tells a lot about a student (creativity, learning style, etc.) (Copeland, 2005)

  7. How to Implement E-folios in the Classroom Teachers of all grades and all schools must: • be open and receptive • be aware of the benefits of this technology • be trained in using technology in order to become successful • have the availability of computers in order to implement technology in education (Specht, 1999)

  8. Types of Teacher E-folios • Product e-folios= shows the finished products • Process e-folios= shows educator’s growth and development in thinking • Process/product e-folios= shows both(Norton-Meier, 2003)

  9. Conclusion • E-folios must be put into action in education because of the functions and uses in education and the benefits for future opportunities; ensuing in teachers using e-folios themselves and implementing them in the classroom in the right procedure. • The more and more teachers that use e-folios, the better educated students will be. • Educators and students should remember that their e-folio is never done, and can always be altered. As technology advances, a teacher must be able to do the same to keep up with the twenty first century students.
