Managing Files

eFolio management works the best in a server environment. The student and teach have access to the eFolio folders. 

Here is how I set up my file structure.

efolio     harry     booklog.xls     goals.doc     main.doc     math.xls     proj.doc     rdgrsp.doc     record.xls     stories.doc     mystories     myprojects     mary     susie     zefolio copy

At the completion of each project or story I have the learner copy the file into their eFolio folder (mystories or myprojects) and link to it from within their folder.

The zefolio copy folder is a copy of a blank efolio for new students or used if a student deletes a file.

Great Ideas

Conference time is a great way for students to show off their eFolios. I schedule a child and parent to come in and view the eFolio for 10 minutes while I am finishing up the previous conference.  

At the end of the year burn a CD of each child’s eFolio. This becomes the electronic scrapbook for the family.
