“A portfolio is NOT a haphazard collection of artifacts (i.e., a
scrapbook) but rather a reflective tool which
demonstrates growth over time.”
TechnologyTechnology“As we move to more standards-
based teacher performance assessment, we need new tools to record and organize evidence of successful teaching, for both practicing professionals and student teachers.” Barrett (2000)
“Likely solution” for collecting, storing, and managing text, graphics, sound, and video. Lankes (1995)
A Richer PictureA Richer Picture
Digital Student Portfolio Project Coalition of Essential Schools (1993)
Proposed that we create a tool using computer technology that allows us to create a richer picture of what a student (teacher) can know and do Drawbacks of traditional paper portfolios◦ Performance evidence may not be on paper ◦ The materials for presentation may not be easily
manageable."What are we going to do with ALL THIS STUFF?"
“Logistical nightmare of thousands of papers turning brittle and collecting dust“
Niguidula (1993)
Why Use Technology?Why Use Technology?1. Documents are generally created with a
computer anyway. 2. Hypertext links allow clear connections
between standards and portfolio artifacts. 3. Can develop skills in using multimedia
technologies. 4. Electronic portfolios are fun and it is easier
to manage the process, especially storage, presentation, and duplication.
5. Electronic portfolios make student work replayable, portable, examinable, reviewable, and widely distributable. Barrett, 1998
