Text books on Eportfolios!

This book was mentioned today as a resource to help shape the thinking about reflection and metacognition:
Smart Thinking: developing reflection and metacognition by Jeni Wilson and Lesley Wing Jan. This book is available from Curriculum Press.


A few sample pages from this book were provided at Curriculum Press, so I've included them as attachments at the bottom of this page.

Sharing del.icio.us bookmarks:

I recently created a del.icio.us tag category called ccportfolio to which I'm now happily adding useful links to directly using my recently installed del.icio.us toolbar. It makes it so easy now. I open up a URL relating to eportfolios etc that has been sent to me or I've found in someone else's del.icio.us bookmarks, Save it to my Delicious account and into my ccportfolio tag and I can then gather up everything and paste it here as a link for you.
