#whatisschool archive 7.4.16 “ePortfolios for Learning”

Thank you for joining us for #whatisschool this week as we discussed ePortfolios for Learning. There were some amazing ideas about how to use ePortfolios to inspire and engage people in learning. We were lucky to have Dana Watts join us to guest moderate this week’s chat.

The #whatisschool community showed their passion for learning today and their passion for reflection through ePortfolios! This archive is packed full of incredible ideas, practical uses and resources guaranteed to inspire you. This week we start an exciting association with Participate Learning and from next week will be moving our archives (and a new live chat feature) to Participate Learning and will cease using storify as an archive tool. Participate learning makes archiving simple, easy to follow and a great place to gather and find resources. I highly recommend you check it out –> https://www.participate.com/
