You have - no doubt - tuned in to the buzz about ePortfolios. Digital portfolios certainly were the talk of ISTE 2012 in June. This post provides links to resources for ePortfolios as well as asking five essential questions. * Whose ePortfolio is it? * Who will read the ePorfolio, and for what purpose? * Who will curate and organize the materials of an ePortfolio? * What shape will the ePortfolio take, and where should it be housed? * What is the teacher's role? When choosing to move in the direction of ePortfolios there are many questions that we need to answer. This post helps us begin to think deeply about issues that surround the use and management of ePortfolios.

Beth Dichter's insight:
Have you considered having your students create a digital portfolio? As we move more and more to digital technology the ability to do this becomes easier, and the reasons you might do so seem to increase.A few of the reasons you might consider digital portfolio: * students are able to see their progress over time; * it helps you as a teacher be able to track student progress more easily; * it is easy to share with other teachers as students matriculate; * they provide a tool for teacher and student to communicate. One issue that has often stopped folks is how to save these portfolios. This post share four resources that you might consider using to do this: Evernote, Google Sites, WordPress and Edublogs. Each has a short explanation, oftem providing pros and cons.

Refrigerators and fireplace mantles might still be covered with children’s projects, but more and more, those projects are finding a home online. That’s just one of the purposes for the launch of DIY.org, a site that allows kids to upload photos of their projects and share it with their friends, family, and the public.

Very thorough guide to using, assessing and making ePortfolios happen. Plenty of tips and suggestions for which apps to use and how to digitise work. Nicely presented and easy to follow. Also does a good job talking about the 'why' of ePortfolios. This is the part I find some of my teachers struggle with.
ePortfolios are a great way of collecting artefacts digitally. Have you tried this with your students?
There are some great links about ePortfolios here. Well worth a look.
