Ten Tips
Creating an Electronic Portfolio
- State and explain the specific standards and the subparts of each standard that will be evaluated in the e-portfolio.
- Tell how the e-portfolio will be assessed and by whom.
- Share the assessment rubric with students and let them know whether the teacher, a team, or a group of experts will assess the e-portfolio.
- Model several e-portfolios for the students so they understand the e-portfolio's purpose and general format.
- Provide a detailed e-portfolio template for the students so they understand what is required for each part of the e-portfolio.
- Label each class assignment, homework assignment, and project with the appropriate standard; therefore, the students can quickly identify all of the possible artifacts for a particular standard.
- Provide network and other storage for the students' digital artifacts to facilitate frequent archiving.
- Model how to select an artifact for the e-portfolio based on how well the artifact reflects the standard.
- Model a reflection on a standard so that students show their growth in the standard.
- Include regularly scheduled e-portfolio days in which the students archive artifacts, decide which artifacts best support the standards, assemble their e-portfolios, write their reflections, and, possibly, present it. Some teachers schedule e-portfolio days every 5 weeks, and others do it every 10 weeks.
- Have an e-portfolio review and provide each student with an assessment of the e-portfolio.
