http://www.bobpearlman.org/BestPractices/dp.htm Key to the student-as-worker model at many innovative high schools is the digital portfolio, which provides the structure and repository for student work. According to portfolio expert David Niguidula, the digital portfolio is a software tool "that can help students create a "richer picture" of their skills and accomplishments than traditional transcripts allow. . . . By providing a more thorough documentation of how students are reaching goals, it can give a school better information on how to help individual students and the school as a whole." Students build digital portfolios and publish them on the schools' Web sites. Portfolios include a personal statement, a current and sometimes a future resume, student projects and work samples, contact information, internship reflections, letters of recommendation, and assessments. New Technology High School, which pioneered the development of digital portfolios, exhibits the curent student portfolios and the best of the past on its [|Web site]. According to California State University-Monterey Bay Professor John Ittelson, who is studying the new role of portfolios in high schools and colleges, "these digital portfolios are much more than archives. They are exhibits of living documents and integrated projects that drive the self-motivated student of the new millennium."

[|ISTE Assessment and Technology Forum] On June 14, 2002, over 100 educators gathered in San Antonio, Texas, to discuss the latest issues in assessment and technology. During the morning sessions, attendees participated in a "Gallery Walk" of Digital and Electronic Portfolio projects from around the nation. The site includes a table which lists both the K-12 and college / university projects presented during the Gallery Walk. From each project, you can link to a description of the "essential elements" (describing how each school has put its portfolio system in place); and a "Tech Story," where a student or teacher describes his or her experience with creating a portfolio; and a web site with sample portfolios or other information.
