e-Portfolio2013: Hi, I am Rosa Nelly. I am teaching at Tec, Campus ...

These readings made me reflect on the importance of the "old" elements:  planning and evalaution. The purpose of the protfolio should be well designed, the steps to be taken by the students clearly defined and the evaluation procedures, even the self-assessment, must show order and make sense to students and educators. It is necessary to introduce and motivate students to be familair with  portfolios since companies and employers are going to be demanding it too. It is very practical to have  a "life story" in a CLOUD, CD-ROM or in the own WEB page, as many already do.

Portfolios show the development, intelectual and personal growth of students and profssionals, as well. They encourage students to be better , to show their skills, knowledge ,and abilities in order to obtain recognition, a grade , and even a position.

Portfolios also show the organization, plan, capacity and quality of the school and teacher, it allows people to be part of the teaching, gudiance process, the teaching activity and the evaluation- product final result. It is a tool to make teaching and learning a transparent process.
