VISIBLE THINKING
ePortfolios make thinking visible.
"Learning is a consequence of thinking. Retention, understanding, and the
active use of knowledge can be brought about only by learning
experiences in which learners think about and think with what they are learning."
Perkins, David. Smart Schools (pp. 7-8). Simon & Schuster, Inc.. Kindle Edition.
"... even when we create opportunities for thinking, we must realize that students' thinking may well be invisible to us. To make sure thinking isn't left to chance and to provide us with the information we need in order to respond to students' learning needs, we must also make their thinking visible."
