According to guidelines highlighted byHeyMilly they are an electronic records of students progress and achievement.
Parental involvement is to be heightened as many of the systems have a parent/ student login for you to access your child’s information via the internet any time of day or night.
Communication with parents and transpancy in teaching should be paramount in a school’s mind and e-portfolios are a way of addressing this for parents.
But e-portfolios for students, though talked about for a long time is still very much in its infancy and we as parents should take the opportunity to be active in discussion on this issue wit hour kid’s school. Successful implementation of e-portfolios in a school is contingent upon parental engagement so go in and ask.
If you’re kid is yet to start school, make a question you ask....”What e-portfolio system do you have and how can I, as a parent, access that information?”
If you send your kids back in a couple of weeks time ask the classteacher about the priority of e-portfolios this year and ask for information around the security and precautions the school takes to protect students as well as help them celebrate their achievements.
