E-Portfolios for Student Teachers--Second Year of a Pilot Program
Hall, Tim; Weimer, George
Association of Small Computer Users in Education (ASCUE), 37th, Myrtle Beach, SC, June 6-10, 2004
The Teacher Education Department at the University of Indianapolis has completed a two-year pilot program to enable student teachers to digitize their capstone portfolio for the student teaching experience. The Exit from Program Portfolio for Initial Preparation Programs, the third and final benchmark for completion of the licensure program, is based on the ten INTASC standards and is designed to maximize candidate reflection on teaching and learning during the first of two eight-week student teaching placements. During the first year of the pilot (2002-2003), volunteer candidates used Dreamweaver 4 to create e-portfolios. Though all pilot candidates were successful in completing the benchmark, problems arose with teaching and using Dreamweaver, and a determination was made that more user friendly software should be used. In the second year, candidates used Lectora software published by Trivantis Corporation. Software instruction was easier, but additional problems arose when Lectora was not available as promised for the Macintosh platform. Issues remain as full implementation for all candidates is scheduled to begin during the 2004-2005 school year. Sample portfolios will be demonstrated and additional questions concerning E-portfolios will be raised in the session. [For complete proceedings, see ED490093.]
