Here are the basic steps for using WikiSpaces to construct an interactive electronic portfolio. > - Organize the portfolio around the units. > > - Create a digital archive of work. Offline, this archive would be on a hard drive, flash drive, iPod or local area network server; online, these files can be stored anywhere on the Internet, as long as each document has a unique URL. > - Use a simple table to list the artifacts, and assign (classify) each one to the outcome/goal/standard that the artifact will demonstrate. See Dr. Barrett's WikiSpaces portfolio for an example (Artifacts). > - Once these categories are identified, set up a page for each major category PLUS an Introduction page. > - To create the navigation bar (on the left) click the edit navigation link, and create links to each page in the portfolio. > - Add the artifacts (upload or through hyperlinks) to the appropriate pages in the portfolio. > > - Write a brief reflection on each artifact (what is the context in which this artifact was developed? Why was it included in the portfolio?). > - You might also write a reflection on each grouping of artifacts (by outcome/goal/standard). > - The Introduction page should contain an overview of the portfolio. It serves as a "letter to the reader" and provides an explanation of the overall goals of the portfolio. > - //**edit navigation**// to create Navigation Bar on left side of screen.
 * 1) **Purpose**. Decide on the purpose for the portfolio. What are you trying to show with this portfolio? Are there outcomes, goals, or standards that are being demonstrated with this portfolio?
 * 1) **Collection/Selection.** What artifacts will you include in your portfolio?
 * 1) **Reflection**. Reflection is the heart and soul of a portfolio. Reflection provides the rationale for why these artifacts represent achievement of a particular outcome, goal or standard.
