I believe this woman needs her own post because her work is simply amazing (she must really love e-portfolios!).
Helen Barrett is a part of the College of Education at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Over the past few years she has undertaken research into the different tools to use in making an e-portfolio. To date, she had trialled 33 different applications and has evaluated each.
Through this research teachers can look through and decide which application would work best for the children in their class. She even has trialled a New Zealand version Mahara which means 'think' or 'thought' in Te Reo Māori. This link to New Zealand beliefs makes the application very user friendly for New Zealand schools.
Helen also discusses the use of the Google applications in a mash-up and how they can be used to enhance formative assessment.
