What are Interactive Portfolios?
Portfolios using Web 2.0 tools to:
reflect on learning in multiple formats
showcase work online to multiple audiences
dialogue about learning artifacts/reflections
provide feedback to improve learning

Context
Why
Electronic Portfolios Now?

National Educational Technology Plan (2010)
Technology also gives students opportunities for taking ownership of their learning. Student-managed electronic learning portfolios can be part of a persistent learning record and help students develop the self-awareness required to set their own learning goals, express their own views of their strengths, weaknesses, and achievements, and take responsibility for them. Educators can use them to gauge students’ development, and they also can be shared with peers, parents, and others who are part of students’ extended network. (p.12)

A Reminder…
Reflection & Relationships
… the “Heart and Soul” of an ePortfolio…
NOT the Technology!
44

Portfolios help learners find their Voice…
and explore their Purpose and Passions through Choice!

From Mead School District’s Student Portfolio Handbook:
Remember, you are telling us a story, and not just any story. Your portfolio is meant to be your story of your life over the last four years as well as the story of where your life might be going during the next four years: tell it with pride!
