A good think about a tradition portfolio is that it's easy to store things in and probably everyone used one before.
Anyone with different language background would find it convenient to use. All through out my primary and high school years, portfolios was extremely handy and still is. I remember every term we get a portfolio each to store all our work in, showing our achievements and class room involvement in projects and also individual evaluation of how well we did in class. In my primary years we were advice to take our portfolio home and show our parents our progress each month. By doing this it give them a clear idea what were learning and how well were doing.
It’s also a medium for discussion between our teachers and us just to see how well our individual goal is being accomplished.
Two of my brothers who are both in Primary still use portfolio to store such as home work and as well as notices and all. Probably different from back in the days but still very much used.
Anything can be stored in a portfolio folder e.g.
· Art work
· Photos
· Individual goals
· Achievement certificate
You can use portfolio for…
· For a job interview
· Career plan
· Apply for Scholarship
· Construct resumes
This is just a few ideas and thoughts I wanted to share.

Hey Erica,
ReplyDeleteGood start =) I like how you refered back to primary and the portfolio's we had back then. They were awesome. I liked going back to them and seeing how well I managed throughout the year. It's like an encouragement folder that helps you to keep going. Thanks for bringing back memories of joyful days filled with fun and no assignments. HAHA !

Hey erica.In malaysia we still use traditional portfolios and not e-portfolios.I think traditional portfolios are still usefull and popular in many countries even till today.I didnt know about e-portfolios as its a new thing and got to know more about in i reflect.I think traditional portfolio may have its benefits as u have mentioned about but could also have its disadvantages.Im still unsure whether which method is more effective.But i would love to read more of your information to get a better idea on both of the portfolios=)
