It seems as though I am not the only one interested in this topic. Thank you to all who responded. Original Post: I have been interested in the thread regarding online portfolios. I am required to hand in a portfolio each year until I am tenured. I love the idea of an online type - I work in an elementary school and some of the non-tenured teachers have gone over the edge with them creating a scrapbook type of document. I don't see them that way. I see them as a professional document and wish to keep it in that format. Here are my questions: How do I go about putting it online? Are there templates I can use? Are they free or do I pay for them? Where do I go? TIA ********************************************************************* I created an electronic portfolio a few years ago as part of a class. You can view it here: http://oelke.com/people/anne/portfolio/intropage.htm I did mine as a set of web pages and used Front Page to create it. Any web page creation program would work including DreamWeaver or one of the various freeware or shareware programs. You would need space for hosting it. I don't know if AOL does any of that. The other option is to do it and burn it to a CD. Another option is to do a Powerpoint. There are templates here: http://electronicportfolios.com/nets.html Here are some examples: http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/eportfolios.shtml You'll notice mine hasn't been updated for a while. It's one of those things I should do, but haven't gotten around to. Since I'm at the other end of the spectrum and looking toward retirement, it's not quite on top of my priority list. You may wish to create yours to address state/national standards.

In the portfolio we have to include our Teaching Philosophy, 3 technology integration projects and a student resources page. I took the course to learn how to use Dreamweaver, web development software. This electronic portfolio is something that I can use for my evaluation next year. Here is a link to a site about electronic portfolios. http://ftad.osu.edu/portfolio/ There are plenty of sites that offer free web site hosting and they have instructions for making a website if you don't have any kind of web development software. Check with your Internet Service Provider to see if they offer web space for you to post your portfolio. Good luck Janis Thomas ************************************ Hi, Your message caught my eye. I think it's fantastic that your school requires a portfolio-- lots of work, I'm sure, but you will be proud of what you do. I teach an online class for the University of Wisconsin-Stout titled "Advocacy and Emerging Issues for media Specialists" One aspect of the class is a portfolio and students are able to create one that reflects their real life work. They can create a web page, PowerPoint--whatever they want. Here is the link if you are at all interested in a class. http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/issues/ Best wishes, Mary Alice ************************************ There is an online service called ePortfolio which I was actually required to use by the program I got my library media endorsement through. I believe it was $35 a year, and the specific site we went to was www.chalkandwire.com For us, the base address was followed by a back slash and our schools initials, I don't know how you would go about accessing it for a personal web portfolio. I allowed by account to expire (only about two weeks ago!) because I haven't used it lately, but I'm thinking about renewing it if I end up in job searching again or if my current school decides to use portfolios as part of our evaluation process. Since I am at a charter, the evaluation process is a little different. Lizanell Boman *************************** I took an online class a few years ago about creating an online professional portfolio. I do still need to complete the final 2 pieces. http://www.fargo.k12.nd.us/education/staff/staff.php?sectionid=328 Susan Kempel, MLS *********************************** Many thanks- If I receive any more responses I will post.
