EDTECH Research

The assignment this week had us identify a learning objective that we would like to achieve in the classroom which either require or could benefit from the use of Educational Technology.  Once we identified our goal, we had to research for resources that related to our goal.  At my current school we are currently piloting E-portfolios with some classes with the possibility of implementing them school wide in the next school.  For this assignment I was interested in identifying what research has been conducted on the topic.

The resources I found ranged in usefulness and quality.  In my research I found useful discussions that will be important for my school to have at this point.  None of the research that I found mentioned the possibility of opening up the E-portfolios to allow comments from beyond the people involved in the classroom.  The E-portfolio platform that my school is researching would require a password in able to view which can be shared with parents and students in other schools.  I am interested in exploring the impact this type of portfolio has on students learning.
