Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore a potential relationship between developing digital teaching portfolios and a propensity to integrate technology in the classroom. Graduate students, who were also practicing K-12 teachers and who were enrolled in the initial educational technology course of an M.Ed. program, created digital teaching portfolios centered on a self-selected growth goal based on the ISTE National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T). The analysis of data from three surveys indicated that there was a positive change in the participants' perceptions of their technology skill level and their use of digital portfolios as a learning/assessment tool in their K-12 classrooms. Teachers also developed technology skills that they could use in their classrooms. Finally, there was evidence that the digital portfolio process engaged teachers in the process of reflection. A follow-up study is planned for Spring 2005.
