ABSTRACT
As you are probably aware, integrative learning is very much tied up with the idea of lifelong learning. To be an integrative learner means that you are able and want to make connections over time and content areas. ePortfolio proponents (e.g., D. Cambridge, 2010) often talk about how ePortfolios can be used to promote lifelong learning, and, indeed, they allow students (and people in general) to be able to keep track of, assess, and consider their next steps in their learning journey. This chapter first focuses on three things to consider as you help students create an ePortfolio that promotes lifelong learning—engagement, metacognition, and taking risks—followed by suggestions for activities. While the first two chapters in Part Two focus on general classroom strategies to facilitate scaffolding, reflection, and making connections, this chapter and the next deal more with classroom strategies to help students create their ePortfolios.
