Sample Electronic Portfolio

**What is an electronic portfolio?** An electronic portfolio is a collection of personal and professional writings that you would like to showcase. **Your portfolio might include only text**, but you could also consider including your writing in a variety of media formats. I've tried to include several examples. Each page linked on the left also has helpful advice on using the different media.

**Why make an electronic portfolio?**
 * It's easy to share with multiple people. Just email them the link.
 * It's easy for others to comment on your pages (using the discussion tab).
 * You can develop a skill applicable to your classroom / profession.
 * Your work is saved on the web for future use.
 * You can experiment with different types of writing.

**Why use wikispaces?** There are many options for creating your e-portfolio online. You might consider Weebly, Google Sites, Blogger, Wordpress, or other wiki options like PBWorks. I chose wikispaces because I use it in my classroom and am very familiar with it. Also, if you label your wiki as educational, your wiki will be ad-free.

If you decide to go with wikispaces, do yourself a favor and watch the video tour first.

If you decide to use wikispaces, select a setting that allows others to view every page and make comments (but not edit). You can adjust the settings by clicking on Manage Wiki at the top of he navigation bar.
