My specific challenge with my students' e-portfolio project was being able to continue the project when our school entered virtual learning in March, 2020. We started the project in January, 2020 and the intent of the project was for students to demonstrate growth over a ten-week period of time. The initial plan was for students to make two sets of recordings of the same musical examples, with one recording made at the beginning of the project and the other recording made at the end of the project. The intention of the e-portfolio was to provide a means for students to review what they had done and determine what needed to be done to improve their performances. We had already started to create and curate artifacts including student performances and reflections when school closed. Our choice of Google Sites as our tool for e-portfolio creation allowed us to finish the project. I intend to discuss all aspects of the project from initial artifact creation and curation to the conclusion of the project which included student feedback about their experiences creating and curating artifacts as well as creating e-portfolios. There was a high level of success with the project, even though we finished it in a virtual environment as we could hear a big difference (for the better!) in the way the student performances sounded when we reached the end of the project. Our e-portfolio project allowed our students to continue learning during a time when there were very limited opportunities for student/teacher interaction.
