Electronic or digital portfolios provide durable records of
children’s work using a variety of ICT tools that include writing,
presentation and multimedia authoring. A good multimedia
presentation made by the children can provide an interesting tool
for reinforcing learning. They can also be useful for motivating
children both at the time of their making and when it comes to view
the final product.
As with every ICT project, the older the children the more of the
technical elements of the process they will be able to contribute
towards. With a younger class the children may just appear or
provide voice-overs but much of the recording and editing will need
to be done by the teacher or SNA. With older groups the camera work
can easily be done by the children and they can make a larger
contribution to the editing. By the time video making is attempted
in secondary school nearly all work can be done by the students
provided initial training is provided.
