Natasha Makucha on 04 Nov 11Effective 21st century assessment reaches beyond traditional testing to look at the broader accomplishments of learners. Assembling an e-portfolio, or electronic portfolio, is an excellent method for assessing students' progress toward school, state, or national academic standards, as well as 21st century skills. An electronic portfolio is a purposefully limited collection of student selected work over time that documents progress toward meeting the standards.

Jessica LaPanne on 15 Nov 11This article talks about e-portfolios and how they "are the wave of the future". This type of digital assessment shows student progression and can be a tool teachers can use for the year or can even be passes on to the next grade. The article states "E-portfolios reflect more in-depth, more comprehensive, and better thought-out evidence of student learning than on-demand tests". Students can review their work over the course of the year to see their progression, which I think is empowering.

Mary Keane on 02 Dec 11This is an informative article that provides a detailed overview of e-portfolios. It provides reasons that e-portfolios are a good method of assessment, and it explores some drawbacks of e-portfolios. The article is a great starting place for those unfamiliar with this type of assessment.
