Introduction Definition of Electronic Portfolio:
“A portfolio is a purposeful collection of student work that exhibits the student's efforts, progress, and achievements in one or more areas. The collection must include student participation in selecting content, the criteria for selection, the criteria for judging merit, and evidence of student self-reflection.” – Northwest Evaluation Association Uses for Electronic Portfolios:
Learning
Assessment
Professional Development
Web Publishing

Student portfolios are invaluable. They provide important insight into a students' individual talents and beliefs about education and career choices. Some colleges are requiring portfolios from students seeking admission. With this process, students have gained valuable experience in selecting the types of materials they collect as well as ways in which to store the information. Students are no longer confined to maintaining a portfolio in a binder. One option being electronically. Student electronic portfolios are concise, annotated collections of student work and things they have accomplished, in and outside the classroom. What makes them very different from traditional portfolios is that they can include scanned or digital photos, video and sound clips, animations, recordings, text, traditional writings and drawings. Student portfolios are a collection of work produced by a student. The portfolio is designed to highlight and demonstrate the students' talents, knowledge and skillsets.
TOOLS FOR PERSONAL GROWTH
"Developing personal portfolios incorporates many different technology tools," Bergman told Education World. "But it is also a process of self-reflection and personal growth. The process is very personal -- a story of self that involves a great deal of self-reflection and thought. "Kids really take ownership and pride in the portfolio process," Bergman added, "developing particular aspects of their portfolios based on what is important to them, their unique knowledge, and their unique skills. Demonstrations or displays in the portfolio include an explanation of the context of the material, where the demonstration was done, why it was done (its purpose), and what learning or capacities are demonstrated through its inclusion. Some students demonstrate a capacity for written expression, for example, while others highlight mathematical ability. Some illustrate leadership qualities, while others showcase musical talent."
NOT A DIGITAL SCRAPBOOK
"Many people emphasize the electronic side of electronic portfolios," Barrett said. "I tend to emphasize the portfolio side. People often approach electronic portfolios as a multimedia or Web development project and lose sight of the portfolio component. Reflection, however, plays a critical role in the development of a portfolio. An electronic portfolio is not a digital scrapbook." Bergman sees electronic portfolios as a natural extension of the technology that today's K-12 students are growing up with. "This is an exciting time for digital technologies and digital tools and today's kids are tuned into this environment," he told Education World. "Digital portfolios are a natural fit."

The Power of Portfolios
Scholastic Online offers this excerpt from an article that appeared in the February 1999 issue of Early Childhood Today. The article explains the benefits of student portfolios in early childhood education.
Can you put everything about yourself — your life story — on a single sheet of paper? You probably will have to do that at some point in your life. A resume is a piece of paper that tells a prospective employer who you are, what you've done, and why they should hire you. If you want to get a job, you'll probably need a resume.
But an employer doesn't need to know absolutely all there is to know about you. They need to know that you have the skills, knowledge, and personality traits needed for a particular job. Can you pick out which of your many skills are most important for different positions? Can you present them in such a way that the prospective employer can quickly and easily evaluate your qualifications? Task
Write your own resume. Put everything you have learned (in school, in extracurricular activities, in volunteer or paid jobs) into a few short paragraphs that would convince a prospective employer to hire you (or convince your teacher to promote you to the next higher grade).
Steps
First, decide what kind of job you seek. It could be a real job that interests you or simply the job of reaching the next grade level in school.
Write down everything you can think of about yourself. List every job you've ever done (real jobs, household chores, extra jobs at school such as hall monitor, line leader, or crossing guard). List your education — schools, grades, special classes (such as a basket weaving class or a karate class). List your extracurricular school activites (football, band, chess club, debate team). List your activities outside of school (camping, skateboarding, raising chickens). List any awards you've won, honors you have received, or special recognition.
Research resume writing... different types of resumes.
Using the Resume Checklist, list the major components of your resume. Mark out any components you wish to omit from your resume.
Write an objective for your resume.
Sketch out some rough ideas of how you want your resume to look.
Using MS Word, transfer your rough sketches to the computer.
Email your final design. (mrgolden.technology@yahoo.com)
