This is what I am really leaning towards: students telling the story of their work. Can we accomplish that?
-

A portfolio is not the pile of student work that accumulates over
a semester or year. Rather, a portfolio contains a purposefully selected
subset of student work. "Purposefully" selecting student work
means deciding what type of story you want the portfolio to tell. -
1. Growth Portfolios
a. to show growth or change over time
b. to help develop process skills such as self-evaluation and goal-setting
c. to identify strengths and weaknesses
d. to track the development of one more products/performances
2. Showcase Portfolios
a. to showcase end-of-year/semester accomplishments
b. to prepare a sample of best work for employment or college admission
c. to showcase student perceptions of favorite, best or most important
work
d. to communicate a student's current aptitudes to future teachers
3. Evaluation Portfolios
a. to document achievement for grading purposes
b. to document progress towards standards
c. to place students appropriately

Which one do you think fits our purposes? Or should we leave that up to the students?

I haven't watched this whole thing yet, but his TED talk from 2008 was amazing. If you are into food, but don't fully understand the mechanisms behind food production, this is worth it.

This author brings up the question that I've wrestled with before: just because we can, does it mean that we should? Or should our abilities always go to make us more human?

Did you watch the "This American Life' cartoon? That is exactly what you are describing, where even the premise of creating news shows altered how kids behaved in the face of a situation that called for social action. It raises the question for me of "should the kids know more how to operate the high tech camera, or when to step out from behind it and act?"
-
Yeah I watched the cartoon and saved it in hopes that I can show it to my students one day and have that discussion. I think they NEED to know how to step out and act - being a good person and citizen should always be number one and if they do that then they will use their technology for the best things! I love these diigo posts - thanks!
