This lesson had an overwhelming amount of information regarding the Web 2.0 tools - that are available for free (or for a little fee) - that can be used to create an e-portfolio, for both "faces" (workspace and showcase).
I learned that Google Drive, formerly Google Docs (I didn't know that), is not at all difficult to use; it is quite friendly, actually. I'm concerned, however, about having time to explain to my students how its different components work. Of course, they are really technological savvy, so I just have to come up with an entertaining way to do this. I have been using Dropbox lately as a storage service, and it has been very useful; it gives me 30 GB of storage; I have it in each of my mobile devices, so I'm a happy camper. However, it does not have the other functions Google Drive offers, like creating all sorts of files.
Also interesting was not only to learn about how to create the e-portfolio using a Cloud storage service, but how to use mobile devices (really mobile, like smartphones, tablets, etc.) for each step of the process.
In the end, we have to plan very carefully before committing to one or another resource or tool. The planning is time-consuming.
