Tikatok - Kids Activities: Publish a Children's Book with Tikatok Case studies - TDG eP: Teachers At CityU, we have collaborated extensively with many dedicated teachers to integrate ePortfolios into the curriculum. In this section, ten of these teachers discuss their experiences of using ePortfolios in different contexts and for different purposes. Each case study begins with an introduction to the course/programme and is followed, firstly, by a detailed description of how the ePortfolios were used and, secondly, by personal comments from the teachers. Each teacher also highlights specific issues that need addressing and possible solutions are suggested by both the teachers themselves and the ePortfolio team. Readers who wish to investigate any particular case further are strongly advised to look at the websites provided. We do not claim that integrating ePortfolios into a course is easy.

That’s just one of the purposes for the launch of DIY.org, a site that allows kids to upload photos of their projects and share it with their friends, family, and the public. Here’s how it work: Parents help their children set up a profile that’s linked to the parent’s email, which gives parents access to a dashboard showing everything that’s been posted on the account. That’s just the beginning. “The boldest thing we’ve done is give kids a public facing page,” he said. The creators also wanted the comment system to be 100% positive, which is why the only way to comment on a piece of art is to give it one of four stickers: Awesome, Beautiful, Favorite, and Genius. Right now, DIY is a free service. Related Explore: digital portfolio, DIY, DIY.org
