“Assessment defines what students regard as important, how they spend their time and

how they come to see themselves as students and then as graduates……

If you want to change student learning then change the

methods of assessment.” (Brown, G et al, 1997)

Why use ePortfolios?

"A portfolio that is truly a story of learning is OWNED by the learner,

structured by the learner, and told in the learner's own VOICE (literally

and rhetorically)." Helen C. Barrett, Ph.D.

Tips for ePortfolio Success

TIP #1 STUDENTS HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE

STANDARDS

• Arrange the portfolio by standard and/or

expectations of what the student needs to know and

be able to do.

• In order to "pass" the student needs to understand

what they need to demonstrate

• Students then need to connect their artifacts to the

standards

Page 40: ePortfolios for Authentic Assessment

Tips for ePortfolio Success

TIP #2 STUDENTS NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT

MEANS TO REFLECT

• Need to move beyond just the commentary that they

are use to through Facebook, Texting, etc.

• Consider oral reflections (video...)

• What went well? What was challenging? Most

Proud of?

• Establish a "goal" for next time

• Consider/Develop a method for achieving that goal

Page 41: ePortfolios for Authentic Assessment

Tips for ePortfolio Success

TIP #3 STUDENTS NEED TO THINK ABOUT ADDITIONAL

AUDIENCES

•Beyond the teacher and the classroom grade

•Must create a portfolio worthy projects

Page 42: ePortfolios for Authentic Assessment

School Culture Can Change To

Incorporate Student Work

Essential questions a school needs to ask:

• VISION: What do you want a student to know and be able

to do

• PURPOSE: How do you intend to use a student's portfolio?

• AUDIENCE: Who will be the primary viewers of the

student's portfolio?

• ASSESSMENT: How do we decide what's good?

• TECHNOLOGY: What tools will we use? Who will support

it?

• LOGISTICS: How do we build on what we already have?

• CULTURE: What else needs to change in order to

effectively implement digital portfolios?

Challenge

“Learn Today, Use Tomorrow”

With a partner, reflect on the following

questions:

1. What evidence of value is there in ePortfolios?

2. How do we ensure that technology is not the

center of the eportfolio process?

3. How do we get teachers to "buy-in"?
