Beth Rheingold | 2013 Spring Professional Day
“An electronic portfolio belongs to the learner.” –Trent Batson
An ePortfolio is an electronic archive of digital files created by a student. It can contain any number of student artifacts and supporting files, including text, video, audio, photography, slideshows, and so on.
What is an ePortfolio?
An ePortfolio is an electronic archive of digital files created by a student. It can contain any number of student artifacts and supporting files, including text, video, audio, photography, slideshows, social media links, etc.
Collect, organize, document, and archive important academic and extracurricular work
Consider how they want to represent themselves professionally in an online community
Gain an understanding of copyright and the importance of intellectual property
Engage in a self-reflective assessment of their work that requires meta-cognitive awareness
Distinguish between what is important to include (and not)
Combine academic interests and accomplishments with personal passions
Develop skills for the professional world that include resume-building, leadership, and an articulation of specific skill sets

ePortfolio Content for Legacy Editors
Home Page with a meaningful photo(s) and working links to the following:
Leadership Philosophy: a 250 word paragraph that explains your leadership philosophy, using specific examples from your experience as a Legacy editor.
Digital Portfolio of Page Designs: incorporate PDFs of your yearbook graphic design layouts, preferably with pictures and text in them. Include descriptions of your design work and design decisions.
A resume: this will include any awards, your editorship with responsibilities, your extracurricular activities, GPA, sports, etc—just what you might put on your college application.
Goals: this is a page on which you will include visuals and lay out an action plan for the term: what are you going to challenge yourself to accomplish this term as an editor? What steps will you take to do that? Include a place where you will include actions steps and progress.
•Determine software to use: I recommend Google Sites for password protection; Wix for student innovation.
•Work with your Technology Coordinator and/or Maria Johnson to develop a Google Sites template for your LS/MS students.
•Integrate meaningful ePortfolio practice into your curriculum using already existing assignments.
•Use grading rubrics for ePortfolio assessment.
•Incorporate self-reflective elements like blogs, goal-setting, philosophy statements, etc. •Share and celebrate ePortfolios with students and parents.
