Portfolios

Portfolios are something that I have a good bit of interest in. As an English person I like the idea of being able to grade my students based on a body of work rather than just one set prompt or assignment. Further, I like the idea of our potential employers looking at our body of work rather than one lesson plan or essay. The beauty of the digital world that we live in is that it is simple for us to display whatever work we want to be seen and not put anything out there that we don't want to be seen. Also, student portfolios are probably a little more plausible because all you need is server space not tons of filing cabinets and folders and stuff. I like the idea of using portfolio grading as an alternate form of assessment.
