Looking for a teaching philosophy in art education through mPortfolio

Abstract

This article reflects on some advantages of the learning portfolio through the use of mobile educational applications which is known as mPortfolio. In addition, the inevitable presence of mobile devices in the classroom provides a great resource for our student´s learning, overcoming the dilema over its use.  We also need to redefine these digital technologies by giving them an educational value for Arts Education. This study addresses two particular issues. On the one hand, the role of the learning portfolio as a resource for individual and collaborative learning reflection, both inside and outside the Arts Education classroom. On the other hand, to investigate the possibilities of mobile devices from our teaching practice while experimenting with participatory forms of learning that turn the classroom into a hybrid space between classroom, digital and interactive.
