REAL ePortfolio Academy. It has become apparent that there is a need for multiple courses, meant to answer three questions about Electronic Portfolios in K-12 Schools: What? (Definition, Description, Examples) Why? (Purpose, Benefits, Philosophy) How? (Implementation Strategies, Pedagogy, Promising Practices). In summary, the following courses are planned: a generic, tool-neutral short course that provides an overview of electronic portfolios; a more in-depth course that supports specific implementation with students using Google Apps (later, a course on WordPress/EduBlogs may be offered, if there is enough interest); a course on creating a digital narrative/story to add voice to e-portfolios; a course to build a professional portfolio (may be taken simultaneously with overview course); and a course to support classroom-based research on implementation of electronic portfolios.

We had a bin where we’d put these documents and at the end of the year, they’d have 10-20 pieces that they’d take with them into the next school year.
After spending years with paper portfolios, I’ve transitioned this concept into digital form, and have started to implement Evernote as the primarily system for creating portfolios in my classroom.

As recently as five years ago, many of the CIOs and directors of academic technology with whom I spoke saw e-portfolio implementation as a significant challenge.
It was a complex undertaking, and there was much uncertainty about available products, policy, and support. Today, many see the process as more straightforward, similar to implementing a course management system. I have spent the last fifteen years researching, developing, and teaching and learning with e-portfolio technologies and practices. Such integration is not easy.
