I can identify with all the Tenets of the AFL in some way or fashion. All the tenets should be applied to teaching and learning that goes on in the classroom. As a teacher I feel that developing the learners' capacity for self-assessment so they can become reflective and self-managing is the most important tenet of the AFL. Ultimately we want our students to become critical thinkers and knowledge seekers on their own. It is our job to give them to skills to manage their information and make sure they are understanding what they are learning.
There is a benefit to keeping up with the eportfolios but not necessarily assessing them. If there is too much assessment it could stifle the students creativity and willingness to share. My eportfolio will help me keep track of all the things I learn and create from now until I retire (hopefully). I have problems keeping things I create and find useful to my job in one place. My eportfolio will help me stay organized and it will help me teach other teachers and professionals how to utilize the tools I use and need to do my best at my job.
