Very thorough guide to using, assessing and making ePortfolios happen. Plenty of tips and suggestions for which apps to use and how to digitise work. Nicely presented and easy to follow. Also does a good job talking about the 'why' of ePortfolios. This is the part I find some of my teachers struggle with.

ePortfolios are a great way of collecting artefacts digitally. Have you tried this with your students?

* Who will read the ePorfolio, and for what purpose?

* Who will curate and organize the materials of an ePortfolio?

* What shape will the ePortfolio take, and where should it be housed?

* What is the teacher's role?

When choosing to move in the direction of ePortfolios there are many questions that we need to answer. This post helps us begin to think deeply about issues that surround the use and management of ePortfolios.
