How to create a digital portfolio
A digital portfolio is a digital representation of an individual's best work over a period of time, including various media like photos, diagrams, videos, and presentations. Digital portfolios are useful for showcasing student work, keeping work current and up to date easily, and visually interestingly presenting information. Teachers can use digital portfolios stored on platforms like WordPress to store evidence and reflections on teaching practice for teacher registration requirements. WordPress allows users to create categories and subcategories to organize posts according to different criteria. Posts can be drafted and published with categories selected to link to relevant criteria. Sharing a digital portfolio allows others to provide feedback and find helpful information on topics covered in the posts.
