Gr 7 Up—All titles in this series say similar things about the need to showcase one's achievements, the criteria for choosing what to highlight, and the accessibility of digital portfolios for employers. Recurring suggestions urge students to focus on achievements and skill sets and to use a variety of media such as written work, audio, and video. Most of the contributors suggest including a reflective piece, to explain to viewers why portfolio items were chosen. Differences among contributors seem to lie in platform preferences, such as WordPress, Behance, Weebly, Wix, YouTube, or LinkedIn. Sample bios offer success stories in using portfolios, but the biggest drawback is the lack of portfolio samples or links to see an actual digital portfolio.
VERDICT Read one title and you've read them all. Consider for large career collections.
