The 2009-2010 school year ended for me early today and I'm just wrapping up a few loose ends before I head into vacation mode for the summer.

Making the choice depends on a wide variety of factors including the role of the e-portfolios, school and teacher expectations, school IT infrastructure and school wide vision. The list below is by no means complete and just offers some of the more popular options available.

I had two eye-opening experiences this week, both really got me thinking about online sharing, curation of digital versus "real" work (E-portfolios) , and overall student learning, both in terms of motivation for and expressions of. The first was the grade 10 MYP Personal Project exhibition, the second my daughter, Kaia's, student-led conference for her PYP Kindergarten class.
