About the Book

FROM CRAYONS TO CYBERSPACE gives your students the tools they need to build better digital portfolios right from the start. Created to meet the needs of students in teacher education programs, the text has a special emphasis on digital portfolios, although it can also be used by students who will develop traditional (paper) portfolios. The text guides students through the steps of preparing a portfolio including guidelines for artifact selection and reflection. The final chapters of the book introduce students to electronic portfolios now widely used in teacher education programs across the country. And to help students begin the task of building their electronic portfolio, the text includes four months of access to iWebfolio, an outstanding portfolio authoring tool that allows students to create, store, and submit their portfolios for review quickly and easily.
