Today we were encouraged to read and reflect on a number of our peers ePortfolio posts.

Examples of MA1 posts:

Lauren: 5,6,7…dance!

Layla – Fear of feedback

Claire-Emma: The ability grouping debate continues

Rachel: Children are the real teachers

Rebecca: My tired

 

Examples of MA2 posts:

Rebecca Sharpus-Jones: Longitudinal coherence and the conceptual knot

Sharon Iddir: There’s been a breakthrough

 

What did I notice?

Throughout these posts, I noticed many aspects which I felt add clarity and depth, as well as making the posts engaging to the reader. These include:

  • Speaking about initial feelings/ past experiences to show growth and development,

  • Showing enthusiasm and passion for a topic,
  • Providing links to further reading or resources,
  • Adding references and quotes,
  • Showing connections to the curriculum,
  • Making the posts visual and attractive through use of pictures and videos,
  • Using a combination of terminology and academic language as well as accessible, every day language,
  • Speaking about how new understanding and knowledge will impact on future practice,
  • and identifying areas that they must continue to develop

I hope that these are all elements that I include within my own posts. I aim to use my ePortfolio as evidence of my personal and professional growth, as well as for sharing interesting discoveries and my own ‘eureka’ moments.
