Sessions
ePortfolios to Understand Teacher Development
The presenter has designed his own ePortfolio system using WordPress. Student-teachers update their ePortfolios over two years. The purpose is to help them link theory with practice, share their discoveries about teaching and learning with others, and set their own professional development goals. The presenter will show how WordPress was customized to create the ePortfolio system and through in vivo coding demonstrate the knowledge student-teachers themselves have generated and shared about English teaching and learning.
