There are many web-based applications that can be used to create your digital portfolio such as Blogs, Evernote, Wikis, Google Sites, websites.

You are free to explore 'digital portfolios' independently and decide on a web-based application you would like to use to create your own digital portfolio. Please note, you must choose a web-based application.

Ensure that whatever application you choose:

• Can be shared with me and that I am able to comment on it.
• Is iPad friendly: can be easily viewed, created and edited on an iPad.

Not sure where to start? Try one of these simple applications. They are easy to use and good options you may end up using with students using iPads in the future.
