What to Include
DisadvantagesElectronic portfolios work best with students who have the technological capabilities to develop and maintain their own portfoliosMonitor to ensure students are not sharing personal informationWeb information easily assessable to othersIdeas, documents, pictures, work samples, etc. may be taken and used without permission
Challenges
Can be very labor intensiveRequire technology resources that may not be availableTeachers need to be technology literate to assist studentsStudents who are not creative may be intimidated by othersThis is an eternal assignment
Challenges
Do not include personal contact information on information that will be posted publicly
Be selective with who they share information
Monitor pictures posted online
Have students get permission to include photos of others
Employers and colleges use Internet to screen
Teachers should obtain parental permission for student photos on websites or professional portfolios
Monitor with Care!
Create a rubricConsider students’ individual creative talents and technical abilityShare grading rubric with students at beginning of projectHave students perform a self-assessmentAllow students to present completed portfolio
