Following the posting of ePortfolio Resources for Teachers somebody emailed me this visual which I want you to check out as well. This visual created by Chelmick features 6 components your students should consider when composing their ePortfolios. You can use this checklist in class to give students an idea about the things they need to incorporate in their ePortfolios.
