What is an e-portfolio?- An e-portfolio is a digital record of a learning journey meant to show growth over a period of time.
- An e-portfolio serves multiple purposes:
- Reflections: A personal learning journal for reflecting on the value of learning experiences
- Collections: A place to organize and store artifacts that could be used to show evidence of your growth as a learner
- Presentations: A tool for organizing and storing presentations to show one's learning journey
When will I use this portfolio? - When reflecting on your own learning experiences (on your own or class-directed)
- After projects, when considering what artifacts to preserve for possible evidence of learning
- When preparing a presentation
- During your advisory, for
- setting goals
- planning for the future
- keeping track of grades over longer periods of time
- keeping track of credits and course requirements
- For possible use as a
- graduation requirement
- senior project
- marketing tool
- Use as a resource for
- connecting with mentors or internship programs
- organizing a resume or portfolio for employment
- applying for scholarships
- applying to colleges and post-high school programs
How do I make this portfolio my own?- Re-design it however you like (backgrounds, themes, etc)
- Replace the generic icon on the front page with a picture of yourself
- Add pages (and links to pages) however you see fit
- Use it in a way that's most meaningful to you (keep in mind the storage limit)
- Use the Reflective journal in a way that's meaningful to you (beyond what teachers do to help you with it)
- Expectations: Keep it organised, easy to read, up-to-date, and keep the contents relevant to your learning journey
Who will see this portfolio?- Your site is set to private unless you share a direct link to it
- You're the owner. Your advisor is an editor.
- The following sections are private for safety reasons, even if you share the links:
- Reflections
- Photo Journal
- Personal Links
- In order to share a page set to private, you'd have to add someone as a viewer to the entire site and then change the setting on the private page to include their address for access to that particular page.
