Creating Online Portfolios Portfolios are collections of students work that have been posted online. These selections can be viewed by parents, teachers, students, relative, etc. Just as you might keep a collection of students work in a hard copy portfolio and online portfolio opens up the possibilities of sharing their work with a larger audience. Students are often fascinated and very excited about publishing their work online.
Portfolios can consist of written samples such as stories, reports, poems, etc.
Portfolios don't have to be focused on just writing pieces. They can be samples of Math work, Science, Social Studies, etc. Students should comment on their work as an evaluative process. In this way they learn to critique their work and become more introspective their writing. These types of portfolios can show the student's growth over time.
