Check out this article on the NWP site talking about the use of blogs with participants in the summer institute. This is what I’d like them to do, if you all are amenable.
Read Electronic Portfolios as Catalysts for Change in the Summer Institute
The electronic portfolios presented in the article come from the Marshall University Writing Project, which has an excellent website outlining their technology integration projects, including a digital ethnography which documents each day of the Writing Institute, including morning drama and notes from the day’s learning. I would love, love, LOVE if this is something we could do to faciliate a record of the day to day learning. It would be a great reflective resource for participants to look back upon near the end of their experience.
I think E-portfolios are a great idea. I’m all for it
