Abstract

This project, designed in conjunction with two K-12 schools in the Washington, DC area (one private school and one public school), examined the use of digital student portfolios as an instructional, assessment, and evaluation tool. This project demonstrates the process through which pre-service and in-service teachers work with students with and without learning disabilities to create digital portfolios using the HyperStudio Authoring Program. These portfolios were then published on CD ROM and on the Internet on the schools’ web pages.
