Creating an Eportfolio What is an E-portfolio?

An electronic portfolio, also known as an e-portfolio, is a collection of student work assembled and managed by the student, usually on the Internet. Such work may include inputted text, images, videos, sound recordings, blog entries, and links. An e-portfolio can be a very effective assessment tool for the teacher. Grade 6 students are required to have an eportfolio that contains evidence of their best work. This portfolio is created in class but can be updated anytime from a computer with an internet connection. The address for the students e-portfolio will be their first name and last initial. For example, John Smith would be www.johns.weebly.com. Students go to www.students.weebly.com to edit their eportfolio.
