Abstract
<p>Web-Based Portfolios for Technology Education: A Personal Case Study</p>
Highlights
A portfolio is a collection of work designed to communicate in various ways about its creator
In the spring of 1995, I began experimenting in my Graphic Communication II class with Web-based portfolios.That semester, I required my communication technology students to represent their course work in a portfolio displayed on the Web
I set up a Web server to house our new Web site and the student portfolios that I required (Sanders, 1996)
Summary
Portfolios and documentation are not really new to technology education. Graphic communication/ communication technology teachers have historically required portfolios to display photographs and printing samples, and more recently computer graphics, storyboards for multimedia, and so forth. Conventional portfolios have increasingly been used as a way of documenting and displaying student work in the field. A Web-based portfolio is a transformation of the conventional portfolio to a format that may be displayed on any computer or accessed via the World Wide Web. The development of a Web-based portfolio offers such an array of learning opportunities and benefits that it makes sense for nearly every student in technology education to develop a Web-based portfolio and continue to add to it in all subsequent technology education classes. Global networked information systems such as the World Wide Web are changing nearly every aspect of our lives. These technologies should be prominent within our curriculum. Technology education should be leading this effort in our schools
