In the world of standards-based instruction, assessment is becoming more andmore performance-based. Portfolio assessment has the strength of empowering students and teachers to demonstrate their proficiency with self-selected examples of work that represent the meeting of standards. Physical portfolios have been in use for many years, but these lack the richness and vibrancy that an electronic environment can add to a description of one′s achievements and performance. Electronic portfolios can contain pictures, videos, or print documents that make one′s experiences come to life! The first half of this book attempts to explain what portfolios are, what makes an electronic portfolio (or e-portfolio) superior to physical portfolios, and how e-portfolios should be organized. The second half of this book addresses what computer programmes can be used to build an e-portfolio, and then presents detailed directions for the use of one particular programme, Microsoft PowerPoint, to accomplish this purpose. The book addresses the use of the e-portfolio by pre- and in-service professional educators as a self-assessment tool as well as a tool for the assessment of one′s students.
