Beginning in August, students will compile pictures and copies of their best work on to flash drives. At the end of each semester, students, along with the teacher, will choose the best work from the flash drive, deleting the rest. Pictures of the student will be taken throughout the year showing the student involved in various activities that demonstrate growth during the year.
By the end of each school year, the students will have an electronic portfolio of their accomplishments for that school year. By the end of their senior year, the students will have a completed high school portfolio of their high school years, with copies of their work to show growth, and pictures to show important events that might otherwise be forgotten. |
