e-portfolio for staters

At our ICT cluster meeting with our ministry facilitator.  We are having discussions around e-portfolios and have found this quirky wee Youtube introduction.  Not too relevant to primary education but gives a good idea of the concept.  I will be definitely researching http://myportfolio.school.nz/ to learn more about this concept.  If your using e-portfolio's would love to talk to you! :-)

Trevor Bond Questioning

As a part of our schools ICT/Inquiry contract we have made a committment to teaching our students to be effective questioners.  Over the past term we have been unpacking the stages of trevor Bond's Questioning rubric.  Last week teachers we given a scenario to take back to their classes to assist them in the collection of questions generated by their students in response to the scenario.  Tomorrow we will share the questions collected and place them on the rubric.  We will then justify our placement of questions and engage in professional dialogue to support our thinking and learning.  I have found a couple of Edtalks that feature Trevor Bond which will support us in our journey.
