Why ePortfolios? Workspace & Showcase

If you try to follow #eportfolios on twitter, you may be disappointed. When you search and view samples of ePortfolios on the internet, you will find several schools with templates and beginnings. You won’t find many quality ones in the grade levels proceeding college. At least I haven’t yet. Many of them appear more like resumes than an instrument that not only documents learning but accelerates it, too. This summer, our team is designing an ePortfolio for students spanning Preschool through Grade 12. The team consists of representatives from Preschool, Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School working together to […]

Return to Eddie’s Attic

Having said that, I’m not sure what I was doing on the stage, but life is full of little mercies and graces. I played a 45 minute, solo set to an intimate crowd of about 50. The feeling was that of a homecoming. Not only because it was my first gig in the Attic in 12 months, but also because there is a new owner, […]
