PORTFOLIOS
• A portfolio is designed
to showcase a
student’s work that
meets a prescribed set
of standards and is
deemed by the
student to be his/her
own work.
PORTFOLIOS
• Electronic portfolio
• With an electronic portfolio, information can
be stored digitally on a computer hard drive
or some sort of removable media (pen
drive, Zip disk, CD, etc.) This electronic
information takes up very little physical
space and is easily accessed.
• You can easily add sound, pictures,
graphics, and even video to an electronic
portfolio.
• The portfolio can be easily edited for
content as well as updated.
PORTFOLIOS
• Traditional portfolio.
• With traditional portfolios, folders,
boxes, or 3-ring binders hold
papers, pictures, cassette tapes,
and more.
• Traditional portfolios should
contain a wide variety of
examples of your work. There is
usually a concentration of a
particular style or technique or
medium.
HOW TO CREATE A PORTFOLIO
• Decide on the format
you will use (examples
include CD ROM, DVD,
or web page.)
• Also decide on the
programs you will use
to display your work.
Power Point, Premiere,
and Flash are some
suggestions.
HOW TO CREATE A PORTFOLIO
• Plan your portfolio.
• Create a storyboard or flowchart
on paper to plan what to put in
your portfolio.
• Think about what work you need
to include. Determine how a
viewer will navigate through the
portfolio.
• Set up a template. You can
add graphics, models, and
animations to the template.
HOW TO CREATE A PORTFOLIO
• Start entering information into
the template. Information
can include text, sounds,
scanned images, pictures,
video, or other projects you
have done.
• All included work must be
original.
• Include samples of your best
work.
• Include samples to illustrate your
growth in the class.
HOW TO CREATE A PORTFOLIO
• Students should reflect on
each piece they include.
• These reflections can focus on
what they have learned on a
particular assignment,
academic progress in general,
and on the actual production
of the electronic portfolios.
• The reflections can be
attached as a printed
document or included as text
in the electronic portfolio.
TYPES OF PORTFOLIOS
• Collections of work
• The simplest form of
electronic portfolio is a
collection of work saved on a
pen drive, Zip-type disk,
writeable CD, or hard drive.
• For this, you can use almost
any word-processing or
layout application you
already have.
TYPES OF PORTFOLIOS
• Collections of work
• While simply saving
collections of work is the
quickest and easiest option,
it is also the least accessible
to others.
• Accessing the work requires
the viewer to have the
same software that was
used to create the student
work.
TYPES OF PORTFOLIOS
• Linear
• As the term implies, these electronic
portfolios are sequential.
• Viewers start with an opening page
and progress through a series of
pages or slides.
• Applications for producing linear
portfolios include such programs as
ClarisWorks, Slideshow, and
PowerPoint.
TYPES OF PORTFOLIOS
• Linear
• As with electronic collections of work, accessibility can be a
problem because it requires the viewer to have the same
software in order to look at the portfolio.
• Although, with newer versions of some of these software
applications, options are available that allow you to
convert the files to Web page format.
TYPES OF PORTFOLIOS
• Interconnected
• This is the most flexible format.
• Students can create links to jump
to and from pages, sections, and
subjects.
• If you plan to make student
portfolios available as web pages,
you might consider using web
page design software.
• Web page portfolios can be
accessible via the Internet to
audiences worldwide.
GETTING FEEDBACK
• As with traditional portfolios,
viewers of electronic portfolios
are encouraged to share their
impressions and suggestions
regarding student work.
• Because electronic portfolios
can be made available to
wider audiences on the Internet,
feedback can come not only
from peers and teachers, but
also via email from parents and
the community.
