ePortfolios as Authentic Assessment
In an effort to increase the degree to which student assessment is authentic in my classroom, as well as increase motivation and pride in their work, I have taken to implementing ePortfolios as a means of final assessment of students. This also helps me to accomplish my professional goals of maximum integration of technology in instruction and assessment, as well. It is my hope that students will create ePortfolios as 9th graders that they can then update and enhance throughout their high school careers.
