Abstract

The growing belief among all involved in education— that children and adults should be lifelong learners—has spawned the emergence of interest in the continuous, progressive, and transportable documentation of learning, or e-portfolios. At the same time, technology is opening up new possibilities regarding when and how learning can take place. Consequently, teacher education should aim to increase ICT literacy, but should also focus on how it can be used to improve pupil learning, to create more effective teaching resources and how to generate new learning models (Barron, 1998; Wishart & Blease, 1999).
