The portfolio lesson could easily be taken back to the classroom by the teachers and duplicated with their own students. The key to using this with students is to have the students save examples of their work in one central folder from the very beginning. When the Portfolio is introduced to the student, the folder containing their work is then made part of the website folder in which the project will be saved. Getting and staying organized from the very beginning is the key to any successful website development. A rubric is available for grading.
