Reflection: Technologies used in the construction of this ePortfolio

This entire ePortfolio (eP) has been built within the Drupal content management system. The objective was to use a system with which I am very familiar so that I can focus on the creation of the eP instead of having difficulties with the tool. These content management systems also lend themselves well to separating content from style, making the creation process much easier (Clarke, 2008).



Assessment Rubric

Here is my evaluation rubric below. The objective is to produce a rubric to evaluate my own portfolio.

Quotations

If I know you're very good in music, I can predict with just about zero accuracy whether you're going to be good or bad in other things.

Howard Gardner

Learning is more than the acquisition of the ability to think; it is the acquisition of many specialised abilities for thinking about a variety of things

Lev Vygotsky

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.

John Dewey

Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.

Roger Lewin

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.

Mark Twain

The regular course was Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with; and then the different branches of Arithmetic - Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.

Lewis Carroll

Aristotle

Knowing reality means constructing systems of transformations that correspond, more or less adequately, to reality.

Jean Piaget

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

Albert Einstein

The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.

C.S. Lewis
