What is a Portfolio?
A portfolio is a goal-driven, organized collection of artifacts and reflections that demonstrate a growth or expansion of knowledge and skills over time. The content, organization and presentation of materials in portfolios can vary greatly depending on the purpose and intended audience of the portfolio. An essential element of a portfolio is to show evidence of an individual’s growth and development.
A portfolio is a purposeful collection of student work that tells the story of a student's personal self and a student's achievement. Portfolios may demonstrate a wide range of student work. Students control the selection of portfolio content and material. Unlike standardized tests portfolios are direct indicators of a student's learning experiences. Digital portfolios also offer an opportunity for students to showcase skills and kinds of intelligence that often are not measured on standardized tests.The digital portfolio is a tool that can help students create a "richer picture" of their skills and accomplishments than traditional transcripts allow.

- Digital portfolios expand on the repertoire of techniques available to students and educators to demonstrate learning. Pictures, videos and audio recordings are added to the typical paper and pencil tasks students complete.
- Struggling students (i.e. writing, reading) are given alternative modes of expression and means to demonstrate learning. This can lead to increases in self-confidence and achievement.
- Increased accessibility! Parents no longer need to find time to visit the classroom to see a collection of their children’s work, and educators no longer need to chase after students to return their paper portfolios to class.
- Development of 21st century skills. One of the 7 survival skills of the 21st century focuses on effective oral and written communication. Digital portfolios can help engage students in practicing these important abilities.
- Digital portfolios allow students to track and demonstrate their growth over longer periods of time. While paper portfolios get stored or discarded at the end of a term or school year, digital portfolios can remain available and easily accessible to students, parents, and educators.
