Hi, I'm Jon Nicholls and I work at a large comprehensive state school in Greenwich, South East London. I am interested in the notion that all teachers should maintain an ePortfolio (embracing a variety of content curated on the web) as part of their professional responsibilities. I am using ePortfolios with my students (in media and photography) and I have experienced their many benefits. Many more students are arriving in my classes with competent web literacies but many more need support. I have some colleagues who make very creative use of a wide range of web based resources and make some attempt to share them with others, but they are in the minority. I would like to learn more about how colleagues from around the globe are creating, remixing and sharing their knowledge and skills.
