Portfolios - The Demise of the 3-drawer Filing Cabinet

Things to add because:

1. Cover Sheet - An equivalent would probably would be uniform file naming system. Last Name_First Name_Grade_Genre_Title(no more than 2 words). In blogs we could just use tags.
2. Storage and desimination - The English Dept. could host a list of favorites on del.icio.us administered by the dept. head.
3. In blogs all work is dated and archived.
4. What about prewrite? Should the blog include graphic organizers, outlines, etc.
5. Electronic Portfolios is superior for the storage of audio and video content.
6. English teachers might need a scanner that students could access.
7. Socs locker or Microsoft Sharepoint. Both of these programs allow collaboration and track changes so that multiple drafts would be saved.
8. Could the portfolio be used to gain access to the next grade? Why can't it be used as a final?
9. We need time. Half days. Full Days. For portfolio assessment.
10. If we go to electronic we would need training.
