V206.01
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.
