ireflect blogging and eportfolio sites
Welcome to the ireflect blog site. We are in semester two and it seems that the approach we will take for students to create their e portfolios is to firstly establish a blog membership and then to choose ways to use templates .e.g in iweb for Mac users or Mahara through AUT. There are probably other options but we can investigate those as we progress. I am 99% sure that we will be able to use Mahara should students wish to choose this option. With luck we should be enrolled in this today. Passwords will be given and you will need to remeber these. But I will discuss this more today.Students have asked for further explanations about what the reflective elements are ine portfolios so we will also talk about that today. The main focus will be to discuss online or offline the aims and objectives students may have about their topic for their first brief. There is a reference to a paper by Bereiter 2002 in AUTonline which suggests that the new concept in education is for students to choose the parameters of their learning. Teachers act as guides in this model.

Hello Patsy. I've just discovered that Autonline have a blogsite with very similar features to Blogger.com and I guess this can be an alternative site for classmates? Also I've found the 'Scholar" site is great for organising one's bookmarking of websites.
I am beginning to get information from students about their plan for the first brief. These ideas are exciting and although it is still early in the programme now is the time to begin discussing initial concepts with me and with each other.
Thanks Audrey you are correct, students can use the blogger site in AUT online and or the Scholar site used for bookmarking one's websites as well.
