My blogging students and I got to work today on our portfolios. The end goal is to create a school-wide electronic portfolio system. We’re the pilot. Before we could get too far, we had to figure out some basics — pretty essential stuff like where we will host stuff and how we will put the portfolios together. If you’re interested in that discussion, it’s occurring over at my classroom blog. Please feel free to chime in.
We’re compiling a collection of links on how and where to host media over on our wiki — please feel free to join us there and add to the list. Right now, a couple of us are going to start a new blog dedicated to portfolio entries, and the rest of us are going to host stuff in multiple places and use our current blogs to link to and reflect on our entries. We’ll see which portfolio makes the most sense when we’ve got something put together.
I know that there’s probably a really wonderful content management system out there somewhere that would be just perfect for hosting student portfolios. There are a couple of fine educational technologists that I’ve asked to help me out in that area. But I don’t have any money or a server of my own — so we’re going to push forward with the free resources on the web and see how much we can accomplish.
I think we’re going to be just fine — I am learning about some great places to host content, and my students know lots, too.
