A digital portfolio is a showcase of a student's work that can be used for various purposes such as employment, parent meetings, and storing classroom achievements. When creating a digital portfolio, materials such as photos and student work should be well organized in folders with clear titles and optimized for web viewing. Digital portfolios can be made using programs like Word or FrontPage by setting formatting options, linking all files together, and hosting the portfolio online or on a school intranet to share with others.
