E-Portfolios

Why have an E-Portfolio?
E-Portfolios are a great way to construct a portfolio of your achievements in one site/space. It is a space to show what you have achieved in video, photostories, music, essays, and art work. No matter where you are you can add to, share and display your creative achievements.

What is an E-Portfolio?
An E-Portfolio is basically a space or site. I have used wiki spaces and also google. Both have their pros and cons. You can use google gadgets in your wiki space as well. So there is no limitation. Google has lots of different types of sites so you may want to use a blog format or the project. All can be personalised. All are addictive.

All the features of a wiki are available to present, review and reflect upon your own accomplishments. So, it is **not a collaboration** as it is the creator's site but you can choose to invite people as an audience. These could be parents, friends, employers and teachers who can make comments on each page.

So there is teacher - pupil collaboration and feedback.

Please look at this Power Point overview of an E-Portfolio to get an idea.
