Electronic Portfolios
Electronic Portfolios or eportfolios are the most diverse and easily accessible. They are not folders with information in them that can be passed from one person to the other and only display the type of writing the person can do. Eportfolios can show not only writing capabilities but logical thinking and creativity. How do you navigate your eportfolio? This would take thinking skills. It needs to be set up so that anyone can navigate through it and get back to where they want to be. Creativity is also a HUGE part. In eportfolios you can add movies and sound tracks where in the old folder this was impossible. Since you are using all different modes of technology it keeps the audience engaged, and makes them want to see what else you have included in your best works.

I guess I should have posted my last comment here. e-portfolios do require outstanding organization and technology skills. They are a wonderful too for students and teachers. They also align well with the constructivist theory.
Have you ever used e-portfolios in subjects other than writing? I'd be curious hear your thoughts/ideas for other subject areas.
Very well said. I like how you mentioned that your portfolio must be set up so that anyone can easily navigate themselves through your carefully selected material to find what they are looking for. Careful planning...we have definitely discussed the use of storyboarding several times in the past month!
