Abstract

The movement from paper portfolios to ePortfolios has arrived at Lyndon State College (LSC) and Castleton State College (CSC). At LSC, the focus is on pre-service teacher technology competency and ability to reflect on technology's influence on learning and teaching practice. Students used different products to create ePortfolios, and different strategies to enhance reflective skills associated with learning and teaching. At CSC, students completed ePortfolios using Microsoft Word and iMovie. Students used blogs to establish a web presence, to learn to write reflectively and to solicit feedback from peers. Skill development and incorporation of peer feedback yielded a richer understanding of how to use technology to express ideas. This paper examines the resultant course and licensure ePortfolios created via different approaches to developing skills and competency in technology, reflective practice, and ePortfolio development of pre-service teachers at LSC and CSC.
