All education students at Ball State are required to create a digital portfolio to show their progress and development as teachers. In addition, students are required to purchase an Apple laptop to use in the program.

Your digital portfolio will include your teaching philosophy, your interpretation of INTASC principles, sample lesson plans, photos, video clips, and other multimedia items you create. You will begin creating your portfolio in SPCED 201.

Digital Portfolio Templates

Templates to help you create your digital portfolio are available below:

Macintosh format:  download the portfolio.sit documents.

PC format: download the portfolio.zip documents.

You will be given instructions for creating your digital portfolio at an introductory session. However, if you need an additional copy, you will find the latest version here (PDF).
