[CASL-L] Digital Portfolio Creation by Students

[Janice Pellegrino]

Hello all -

I am currently collaborating with one of my visual arts teachers, piloting
a project for her seniors to create digital portfolios of their art work.
While this small group is our focus this year, we'd like to explore the
wider applicability of digital portfolio creation for all of our students
(for college admissions, for employment, for tracking of academic growth).

If students in your high school create digital portfolios, I would
appreciate any and all feedback you could provide including the following
information:

1. Are all students *required* to create portfolios or is this a choice
they can make?

2. Which technologies do you suggest they use? A website, blog, slideshow
that they convert to a pdf file, or something else? (If a website, which do
you suggest: Google Sites, Weebly, Wix, Wordpress, other?)

3. For those students creating websites, do they typically purchase
specialized domain names for their site?

4. What types of information do your students include in their portfolios?

5. How do you structure their portfolio work? Does it take place within a
specific class during the school day? On their own time? Which teacher(s)
works individually with the students on layout, what to include, technology
issues, etc.?

Thank you so much!

- Janice
