Scaffolding activities
​
#1 Content
Students brainstorm ideas for suitable artefacts to include in digital portfolios and identify possible content for their portfolio considering its purpose.
#2 Comparisons
Students compare examples of digital portfolios, identify their aims and explore how content meets the purpose.
#3 Choices
Students explore what should (and what should not) be included in a portfolio and why. They then consider the purpose of the portfolio and its potential audience.
​
#4 Collecting resources
Students collect artefacts for their portfolios (e.g. photos, samples of work, audio/video fragments, texts, annotated images, certificates, screen-shots) and consider possible ways of organising the artefacts.
#7 Create
Using their drafts and collected resources, students create their digital portfolios.
#8 Sharing and peer feedback
Students share their portfolios with the intended audience. They can also engage in peer feedback.
