The LTD Project Blog

As part of a suite of portfolios developed using a variety of online tools, Helen Barrett (2007) explains and demonstrates how to create a portfolio in a Wordpress blog. She outlines five phases of portfolio development:

1. defining the intended purpose of the portfolio, perhaps in terms of “outcomes, goals, or standards;”
2. collecting and selecting artifacts to support that purpose;
3. reflecting on each artifact and group to produce rationales for their inclusion to achieve to the purpose of the portfolio;
4. interacting: getting and responding to feedback on the collection, reflection and satisfaction of the intended purpose, perhaps from peers or teachers; &
5. presenting or publishing the completed portfolio.

(Barrett, 2007, How To)

In Wordpress, she uses static pages and sub-pages to represent artifacts as evidence of five competencies, namely her:

1. Electronic Portfolio Competency – Knowledge, Skills and Experience
2. Digital Storytelling Competency – Digital Video Editing Skills
3. Technology Competency – Multimedia & Web Page Authoring Skills
4. Teaching & Instructional Design Competency – Presentations
5. Writing & Assessment Competency (My Publications)
