That's it! If this were a real e-portfolio, you'd want to save it where others could view it -- on the Web, a network server, or even just a classroom computer that's available during parent conferences.

For more details on setting up e-portfolios, be sure to see the Education World techtorial Using Hyperlinks to Create Student Portfolios.

Evaluate a student's e-portfolio based on content (what's in it), style (how clean and accurate is it), and student reflection (why the student chose the elements that are included in the e-portfolio and what the student learned from those selections).
