Module 3 by Patricia Griffin https://padlet.com/twinsgriffin/jijymbsp1ybh As you reach the mid-way point of the course, jot down two or three key learning points for you from what you have covered on the course so far. en-us 2016-07-06 16:26:04 UTC 2025-11-01 22:28:37 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Templeball.png As you reach the mid-way point of the course, jot down two or three key learning points for you from what you have covered on the course so far.   twinsgriffin https://padlet.com/twinsgriffin/jijymbsp1ybh/wish/116013018 E-Portfolios are a great way for the children to become interested, involved and motivated in their learning.  Not only this, but this will also aid their skill development such as IT skills, problem solving, their reading and writing skills to name but a few.  It is a different way for the children to engage in their learning from the traditional ways of learning with books, pen and paper.  This method will also aid the learning of children with SEN, providing many benefits to these children academically, socially and emotionally.  
E-Portfolios are an excellent way to keep a continued assessment of the children in the class.  
Work can be shared with peers, teachers and the home, providing stronger links and involvement by these people.  Children can also be assessed by these people also.  Modifications can then be done to improve the children’s work.  
I love the idea of publishing children’s work on a class blog, school blog or school website.  Children are highly motivated to complete work to their full potential, improving their confidence and self-esteem.
I also love the idea of children creating quizzes and tasks on tools such as edmodo.  
 
I will definitely use Padlet next year.   I think it is an excellent tool for children working in groups.  It can be used as a KWL chart at the beginning, middle and at the end of lessons.   I love the way children can insert pictures into their documents also.
 
The tools mentioned above are suitable to meet the needs of all students in the class, including the less and more able children in the class. 
 
Also, Module 2 drew my attention to the importance of copyright and infringement on the part of the children.  Children need to be responsible when using material from the web.  Children need to have the knowledge to know what material can be used and how to reference it.
