“A portfolio is NOT a haphazard
collection of artifacts (i.e., a
scrapbook) but rather a reflective
tool which demonstrates growth
over time.”
5. TechnologyTechnology
“As we move to more standards-based teacher
performance assessment, we need new tools to
record and organize evidence of successful
teaching, for both practicing professionals and
student teachers.” Barrett (2000)
“Likely solution” for collecting, storing, and
managing text, graphics, sound, and video.
Lankes (1995)
6. A Richer PictureA Richer Picture
Digital Student Portfolio Project Coalition of
Essential Schools (1993)
Proposed that we create a tool using computer
technology that allows us to create a richer picture
of what a student (teacher) can know and do
Drawbacks of traditional paper portfolios
◦ Performance evidence may not be on paper
◦ The materials for presentation may not be easily manageable.
"What are we going to do with
ALL THIS STUFF?"
“Logistical nightmare of thousands of papers
turning brittle and collecting dust“
Niguidula (1993)
7. Why Use Technology?Why Use Technology?
1. Documents are generally created with a
computer anyway.
2. Hypertext links allow clear connections between
standards and portfolio artifacts.
3. Can develop skills in using multimedia
technologies.
4. Digital portfolios are fun and it is easier to
manage the process, especially storage,
presentation, and duplication.
5. Digital portfolios make student/teacher work
replayable, portable, examinable, reviewable, and
widely distributable.
Barrett, 1998
