What is a digital portfolio..? A digital portfolio is a web page that includes: pictures and images, videos and text. These are to show and let the followers know what is going on in your life and at school or work. An advantage of a digital portfolio is that you can access it in multiple places. If you have files on a school or work that are to remain on that computer or the computer is not portable, then you put the files on a link or on the actual webpage. The links and/ or files are available to you at home or at other areas. One disadvantage of a digital portfolio is that it is public and anyone can view it! This could be a problem because some personal files could be viewed without will.
I have looked at some sites and links and reviewed them, here is the first: Creating a Digital Portfolio. It talks about the features and advantages of digital portfolios. It talks about how they are made, what they represent and the tasks that can be performed. The next digital porfolio is called: Electronic Portfolios: Students, Teachers, and Life Long Learners. This talks about what they are and how they are made. But not only that it tells you what and how, it also tells you about who and where. This link also lists more links to self-made portfolios and more. This is also a VERY helpfull site. The last site is a real portfolio named: Richer Picture - Sample Porfolios. This lists a number of links that include senior and junior school. One of the sites was made by a little girl is 4-5th Grade and I think that she did an outstading job, by posting work, school and personal life. Many of her past projects have been put onto her website. All of these websites had colors that stand out from the rest of the page, yet making everything simple. These links were worth reading because they show that not only can old and smart people make digital portfolios but also young and simple, everyday people can. This has been a great expiernece for me and showed me that all people can be creative and smart.!
