Tips And Pointers

In the first lesson, Portfolios: Tools for Teachers and Students, you created a couple of projects on which to center/anchor your instruction and student learning for one of your classes. Then you were asked to consider the types of products that could be generated as natural by-products of the project [a tangible product? an essay? field journal? mock debate? multimedia presentation?]. Then you were asked to determine how the products will be used to assess student performance:

  • Will you use the products to evaluate a student's strengths or weaknesses?

  • Will you use them to assign a grade on a periodic basis or use it to supplement your existing grading?

  • Will you use is as a sole indicator of student achievement for a semester or year?
