Synopsis

Montgomery and Wiley, both professors of education at the University of Scranton, offer advice and guidelines on the use of e-portfolios by pre- and in-service educators as a self-assessment tool and as a way to measure their students' performance. The first half of the book explains what portfolios are, what makes an e-portfolio superior to a physical portfolio, and how they should be organized. The second half looks at computer programs that can be used to build an e-portfolio, then provides instructions on using Microsoft PowerPoint to create portfolios. A companion CD-ROM contains sample portfolios. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
