To meet the State of New Hampshire’s Technology Literacy graduation requirements, each student at Souhegan High School will present an Electronic Portfolio, containing products (files) that demonstrate the student’s skills in the use of information technology. Students can begin to add products to their portfolios in the 9th grade, and continue until they graduate. These portfolios will be maintained by the student in their network folders, and presented for assessment when complete. The portfolios will be assessed during the student’s junior year. The products in each student’s portfolio will come from assignments in their core classes, such as science, math, English, social studies, world languages, visual arts, etc. The student will select one or more products for their portfolio that demonstrate their skills in each of the following application areas:

• Word Processing, such as an essay, a research paper, or a short story

• Calculation, such as a spreadsheet

• Visual Communication, such as a presentation, a video, or a website

• Online research, such as an annotated bibliography that properly cites Internet and electronic databases

• Each student will also write a reflection on the role or impact of technology in the student’s life.
