![]() ![]() For example, in places like Michigan students can earn the MCOATT (Michigan Certificate of Outstanding Achievement in Teaching Technology) for submitting an electronic portfolio which demonstrates evidence of technology being used in the classroom. Many universities and schools are currently working to make sure that students are gaining practice and experience with electronic portfolios so that they are able to use them to the best of their ability. ![]() In this sense, students' use and comfort with the web at times can be a hindrance if they are not taught to use electronic portfolios in the correct fashion, suggests Lane. The electronic portfolio, on the other hand, is a more formal setting where students must apply both their knowledge of how the web works and the message they want to convey. Today, many students are using multimedia such as Facebook, Twitter, and texting-all informal settings. This helps people to become better critical thinkers and helps them to develop their writing and multimedia skills. People are also forced to reflect on what they have learned and how they plan to build and improve in the future. The individual is then in charge of their learning and the choice of where to demonstrate their proficiency. This is in large part because people must focus on their collective work, think about how it will be portrayed, and what the work says about them as an individual. E-portfolios also help to foster an independent and autonomous way of thinking, according to Strivens.
