 * = =Choosing Content=

You need to think carefully about what you want to add to your digital portfolio or Wikifolio.

 * ===The purpose of a portfolio is to share evidence of your learning by creating a collection of your work, over a period of time.===
 * ===You should reflect or comment on the work you place in your portfolio===
 * ===Your portfolio should be carefully organised so that you can share your best work easily with others.===
 * ===The work you share in your portfolio must be your own. You can include group work, but you must give credit to the other members of your group.===
 * ===The work you include should be your best work, or a piece of work you would like to reflect on or critique.===
 * ===You will probably edit your portfolio many times while you are in the Secondary school, by adding, deleting and reflecting on your work.===
 * ===Remember that your wiki is a public site, so you will want to avoid anything too personal, like photos of yourself, or any personal information that could link your online persona to your real self.===
