In order to understand the value and purpose of a digital portfolio and why they can be so valuable, it may be helpful to check out the work that others have done.

Go to this link to see ideas, templates and resources that will help you in your journey of understanding. [|Digital Portfolio resources] To see the resources available, you will have to log in using your edumail log in and password. These are links to documents that you can download.

[|The Digital Portfolio: A Richer Picture:] this article looks at the digital portfolio and describes some examples of how they can be created. The article is from the United states but still has relevance to our schools. [|Getting Started] is another section of this website which gives guidelines and suggestions on how to begin.

One of the keys to a successful portfolio system includes using a variety of assessments. The portfolio would be no different to a hard copy of work if it only included tests, quizzes, worksheets, projects and homework assignments. So the challenge is to include authentic assessments that focus on the student's ability to produce quality products and performances.
