Abstract

One of the most innovating tools used in web 2.0 is the blogfolio. This research, of evaluational nature, has the aim of determining the advantages and limitations of said tool in the educational field. For that purpose, a group of Pre-school Education degree students from the University of Murcia were asked about their opinion on a blogfolio that they had been using throughout the course of one of their subjects. An ad hoc questionnaire, validated by inter-judge reliability, was used for that matter. The results show that, in general, the blogfolio is suitable as an instrument for the students’ learning process and as a form of evaluation, as well as a way of encouraging collaborative work among them. While meaningful differences have been found regarding the students’ perception of the portfolio depending on the group they belonged to, no significant differences based on previous knowledge about blogs (either by having followed one or having created one) have been noticed.
