Thanks for this idea. I have used voicethread in other ways but this is another possibility. I have also been working with Solo Taxonomy - a great thinking tool for reflective practice which has been easy to link to e-portfolios.- however it is not an e-tool.

I placed this comment in another discussion area but I figured that it might help here as well. I read recently that teachers are using voicethread.com to post pictures of a lesson that was conducted. The students then viewed the photos and commented on them, hence retelling their version of the lesson and what they learned. I will continue to search for more ways of reflective teaching and as I come across them, I'll post when I get a chance.

Hi Tammy<br />
Thanks for that. I will have a look at it and come back to you with my thought once I have had a bit of a play.<br />

Hi Matt<br />
Thanks for the feedback. Today I did end of term reflections and I was amazed at what 9 year olds wrote. I also focus there writing with some pertinent questions or pointers.<br />
I will Skype you in a fortnight. I am heading over to NZ for a little while. I will keep my eye on your blog. Keep in touch.<br />

Thanks for the reply. I think I will put into practice the refective statements you suggested.

Thanks John!<br />
<br />
The portfolio feature is probably the vaguest feature on the site, mostly due to lack of feedback from our teachers. The quicker we can get more feedback on what our users are looking for in this feature, we quicker we can implement those ideas! So please let us know how we can improve the site and you'll be pleasantly surprised how quickly it will evolve.<br />

Thanks and great to hear from you. We did an extended pilot of Edu 2.0 with my very web-savvy Seniors in April and May. Their response was very favorable. I have been working constructing Lessons and learning the ins and outs. I need to get a little clearer on the Portfolio feature.<br />
<br />

I've been using just wordpress.com for our class blogs, but only recently discovered the edublogs.org is a part of wordpress.com. I can't use Blogger because it is blocked on our school network.<br />

As for the passwords I had planned on giving each student an individual password to access their folder. That way parents can access their child's folder at home and not be able to access any one else's.<br />

<br />
For the reflective writing students will be looking primarily at their own work. I will make comments on their work in their portfolios and they will be expected to tell me how they can improve on the next related assignment. They will also reflect on what they enjoyed about the assignment and what they didn't like. I plan on developing a rubric for this but haven't made it to that point yet.<br />
<br />
And yes I am on Skype .<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
