Reflection: I think the best use of e-portfolios in the classroom would be for sharing. I think you could hype up e-portfolios with students by saying that theyre
your own website. Students can get excited about sharing their work with anyone by using their e-portfolio. They get technology skills by building this website
and also they get to take ownership of their work by sharing their e-portfolios with others. I think with the world progressing in technology as it has, an e-
portfolio may be a great alternative to folders or binders full of work from a grade year.


Storybird has a variety of uses, the most important would be the creativity that students will develop from writing their own stories. It would be hard to
use other peoples stories from storybird to teach concrete concepts such as science, math, or history, however it would be fun for students to create their own
stories. This can be used as an assessment of some sort.

Mobile learning: I think mobile learning could be a fun way to get students out of their seats. I think a QR code hunt would work well as an assessment
for students, because unless they get the answer correct their next clue wouldnt make sense. There could be faults here too in that if they get their answer
wrong and scan a different clue, they may be able to determine the answer to a different question.
