The e-Portfolio is an important part of the requirements to earn a STEM Certificate. It serves as a cohesive set of evidence of the student's learning throughout their STEM elective courses.
Mrs. Reimers (STEM Program Coordinator, rreimers[at]lps.k12.co[dot]us) will create your e-Portfolio initially and 'share' it with you on Google Docs. Managing your e-Portfolio is easy. The teacher in each STEM elective will assign which artifacts (photos, projects, videos, plans etc.) to upload. They will also ask to you to post a reflective writing piece for each uploaded item. Student e-Portfolios will be maintained until they graduate. STEM e-Portfolios can serve as a noteworthy addition to college and employment applications.

You must follow these steps when submitting your work to your STEM Portfolio:
- Make sure you understand which assignments your teacher has asked you to submit to your Portfolio.
- Upload your work (photos, pieces of code, screenshots, videos, documents etc.) and your reflective writing about the assignment to the appropriate STEM Elective Class page on your personal STEM Portfolio.
- "Share" your Portfolio both with the teacher of the class AND Mrs. Bartlett (hbartlettmogg[at]lps.k12.co[dot]us). If you do not take this step, we will not have access to your Portfolio and will not be able to check your work. You will not be given credit for your work if you don't "Share" it correctly AND turn in the Completion Ticket.
- Download and print a copy of the "Portfolio Completion Ticket" (click here).
- Complete the ticket and ask your teacher to sign the ticket. Before they can sign your ticket, they will need to be able to access your Portfolio to view your work.
- Once the ticket is completed, turn it in to Mrs. Bartlett using the envelope posted on the door to the STEM office.
