Live blogging from CALICO: The Use E-portfolios in the Language Classroom: Rationale and Implementation

Barbara Lafford, Peter Lafford and Michelle Petersen, Arizona State University

Wow…this presentation was chock-a-block with information about types of eportfolios, definitions, purposes, types of “artifacts” to be collected and selected, assessment….thankfully they had an extensive handout. I will fill in the blanks this evening over a refreshing beverage :-)

Great quote: “We do not learn from experience. We learn from reflecting on experience” John Dewey

June 3 update: Am hoping to get the Lafford’s ppt presentation and upload it here…I could not do their work justice by paraphrasing it here…

About Barbara

Barbara has been working for a small liberal arts college in the cornfields of Ohio for about 15 years. In addition to teaching Spanish she runs a somewhat unconventional language center. Prior to this adventure in higher ed she taught high school Spanish and loved it. She wishes she had more time in her life to write, read, swim, and watch the Red Sox. And sometimes she blogs over here as well...
