Week 3 KWL

Formats of Portfolios

Things I know:
  • Artist's often use large folio type formats.
  • Portfolios can be in binders with dividers and tabs.
  • Student portfolios are sometimes in bins or boxes.
  • Portfolios can be digital or electronic.

Things I want to know:
  • How do you put together a paper format portfolio? What is needed?
  • How do you put together a digital portfolio? What is needed?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages to each kind of portfolio?

Things I learned:
  • Digital portfolios are more portable and can be shared with multiple people at the same time.
  • Digital portfolios can highlight technology skills.
  • Digital portfolios are easy to update, especially when things are often created electronically for lesson planning and teaching anyway.
  • While presentation style is important, content is the most important component of a portfolio.
  • Digital portfolios can be organized more complexly with hyper linking.
  • The multi media aspect of a digital portfolio allows the portfolio content to be more complex and more specific to the individual's strengths, creativity and personality.
  • Electronic portfolio development can be more time consuming and more expensive.
  • Digital portfolios can be created using templates at commercial sites or using HTML at personal websites.
