What is a Digital Portfolio?
A digital portfolio is an evolving tool that documents your personal, academic and professional development. It is a visual guide that maps out where you have been, where you are going and how you plan to get there. Your digital portfolio can also serve as a tool to communicate your plan to others.
What is the Purpose of a Digital Portfolio?
The purpose of a digital portfolio is to allow you to create a tool to assist you in presenting what you are learning and planning in your personal, academic and professional life, and how this learning and planning interconnect. The portfolio is as much a process as it is a product. It should be considered a "living document" that evolves as you do.
Your portfolio will illustrate your accomplishments and how they align with the Iowa Teaching Standards. The easiest way to create your portfolio is to copy the templates from the various pages on this site into your own Google Pages site.
To create a Google Pages site, read this About Google Page Creator page for instructions. You will need to have a Gmail account, which you can set up if you don't already have one.
