  2. Defining Portfolios • Selected artifacts (evidence) are paired with commentary (reflections), organized and developed for a specific purpose or audience, which demonstrate the author’s professional knowledge, skills, inspiration, growth, and dispositions.

  3. Types of Portfolios • Process Portfolio  evaluates a person’s progress over a given period of time. • Product Portfolio  contains specific, required evidence that is compiled to compare against common criteria. • Showcase Portfolio  a collection of a person’s “best work.” Individualized and based on the perceptions of the developer.

  4. Considerations • Who is your audience? • What type of portfolio should you choose? • Why do you need a portfolio? How will it be used?

  5. Choosing an Electronic Format • Various electronic technologies are used to collect and present the evidence in a coherent fashion. • Web-based portfolios • Internet sites and software some are FREE • Microsoft Front Page or Publisher • Slide show presentations • Microsoft Power Point • Publication software • Microsoft Publisher or Word, Adobe Pagemaker

  6. Benefits of the Electronic Format • Much of the information you reference or create is already in an electronic format. • More accurately, vividly or interactively displays your evidence than a printed or photo-copied page. • Demonstrates adaptability and experience with technology. • Easy to integrate the Internet by using Web links. • Always accessible to you or your audience.

  7. Benefits (cont’d) • Compact and organized no boxes or folders to carry. • Supports multi-media content. • Non-linear easy to jump around and back again. • Files are easy to update and cross-reference. • It is inexpensive.

  8. Disadvantages • May not be the best format to display evidence of your skills. • Development takes time. • May add to the already stressful process of building evidence and relevant commentary. • Requires technology skills • Scanning • Web design • Hyperlinks • File storage
