Q: What are the essential aspects of a portfolio? How do I showcase who I am....as a learner.....as a person?
You will be putting together an electronic portfolio that showcases various aspects of who you are. Portfolios are systematic collections of student work and related material that depicts a student's activities, accomplishments, and achievements. A portfolio will include evidence that shows your talents, capabilities, and the story of your achievements. You will continually develop this portfolio as you learn and pass through the grades at WG Murdoch. This year we will create your electronic portfolios and begin to add some of your accomplishments. We will also use the portfolio as a place to profile your learning strengths and journal about your learning with your PLS/Health teacher.
The very first step in creating your eportfolio is to set up your profile page. Who are you? You will watch the tutorial video below to get a better idea about how to set up parts your profile page:
