Web 2.0 Tools

Creating ePortfolios with Web 2.0 Tools by Dr. Helen Barrett

Much of this work began with my Online Portfolio Adventure, where I recreated my presentation portfolio with at least 40 different online services, software and strategies between September 2004 and the present time. In 2006, I began exploring the use of Web 2.0 tools, and constructed portfolios using these tools. One advantage of Web 2.0 tools is that many of them are free, although WikiSpaces may place ads on the page. There is some concern about security in a K-12 school environment, so care should be taken when using these tools with children. In a recent blog entry, I discussed different Online Portfolio Strategies and developed a GoogleDocs page to compare a few of the different choices available.
