An
e-portfolio is a collection of information, files, images, documents and
digital artifacts used as a resource to demonstrate the development of the
learning process. According to tech.worlded.org “The
process of producing an e-Portfolio (writing, typing, recording etc.) usually
requires the synthesis of ideas, reflection on achievements, self-awareness and
forward planning; with the potential for educational, developmental or other
benefits”.
The type
of portfolio depends on the purpose such as presentation, application,
reflection, assessment and personal development planning), pedagogic design, and
level of structure (intrinsic or extrinsic), duration (episodic or life-long)
and other factors. (tech.worlded.org).
E-Portfolios
can be done by using tools such as presentation software or blogs but there are
specialized e-Portfolio applications that can offer a level of customization
for specific contexts and support for multiple pedagogic purposes.
Benefits
is also something else to think about, things like customization, interaction,
transportation, access from every place with internet connection and the best
your dog can not eat it!

Teachers can also make use of web-based lessons that
is simply a lesson that in some way incorporates a Web site or many Web sites.
A Web-based lesson can be conducted entirely online or it can be a traditional
classroom lesson with an online component. A Web site can be used in a lesson
for a variety of purposes, including research, reading, writing, publishing,
communication and collaboration with teachers and learners around the world.
We have
already discussed how using the Web in the classroom brings with it both new
opportunities and new concerns. The variety of resources and information can
inspire original activities and facilitate teacher´s work in the creation of
lessons related to any subject. Also by using the web many learning styles can
be taken into account. We should always bear in mind when creating a site that
the most important thing is the educational purpose and not the look of the
site, so be aware that the templates that you use are suitable for your
purpose.
As a
regular lesson, web-based lesson should include very detailed steps for the
teacher and learners to follow. Some of them may seem logical but when using
ICT there are not too many explanations because you may not have enough time to
clarify your students´ ideas.
