A question that seems simple, but very deep. If it's something I made I'm supposed to own it however, this has a much deeper meaning than we can really think.
After much reading and watching Dr. Harapnuik's videos I realized that each e-portfolio is owned in very different ways. During the last few weeks of creating this portfolio and learning about site creation and reflection, I have realized that, for now, my desire to be certified as a teacher is the owner of my eportfolio. What I mean by this is that this desire takes up every second of the “free” time I have.
E-portfolios are an ongoing process in which one can work on them and slowly add bits and pieces to them as new ideas emerge. However, my moments are a bit scarce since I have two jobs and two children that I must guide and educate. That is why COVA gives students the freedom to choose how to organize their learning experiences and this is super important as it encourages critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, which leads to better problem-solving and decision-making capabilities. decisions. Ownership over the ePortfolio process is a projection of trust. Observers notice that you do not question your intention or your role in life. Carry what you are like a lion carries his mane. Finally, the opportunity to use your own voice to shape your work and authentic learning opportunities to make a difference in your own learning environments gives that essential touch to feel authentic and own our thoughts.
Student ownership of the ePortfolio process gives them the freedom and authenticity of owning their learning experience. This serves and helps students stay motivated and involved in the learning process since they have control over everything. Dr. Harapnuik explains in his video “Who owns the ePortfolio?” that the sense of ownership results in greater motivation, which is extremely necessary for a student to have deeper and more successful learning.
When students have a voice in the ePortfolio process, teachers can trust them because everything is reflected in their work. This helps them have a clearer understanding of the material by allowing them to relate what they are learning to their own individual experiences. The feeling of ownership allows students to evaluate their acquisition of knowledge and how they are developing it. This allows them to take ownership of the results of their learning and reflect on their experiences.
By using eportfolios, students can build and manage their ideas and thoughts online, helping them put their digital skills into practice. Ownership goes beyond school; this is something that will help them for life even in their professional careers.
