Electronic Portfolios eJAWS Craig Gamble, Assistant Head of British Primary, Taipei European School Monday 13th of January 2020 saw the inaugural electronic Job-A-Like Workshop (eJAWS) for FOBISIA. Normally staff travel to the host school to engage in professional development activities and professional discussion around a central theme. Taipei European School were successful in bidding to host a FOBISIA JAWS event around the use of electronic portfolios in schools and, to emphasise the electronic aspect, decided to host the event via a web conferencing platform called Zoom. Fourteen colleagues from eight schools across the region registered for the event and spent the morning discussing how they each use electronic portfolios such as Seesaw, Tapestry, Sesame and others to support their student’s learning and how the tools can be used to communicate with the parent community.
The conversations were engaging and each delegate took something away from the event that they would use to enhance the use of e-portfolios in their own school. The event was organised and chaired by Craig Gamble of Taipei European School’s British Primary Section who presented the schools Seesaw journey to the delegates, he was joined by Mr Stallwood and Mr Cheung. FOBISIA staff, Daphne Wong and Siobhan Bland also joined the eJAWS, as this format was a first for FOBISIA and our IT support team made sure the technology performed flawlessly.
