ePortfolios with GoogleApps This Google Site has been set up by Dr. Helen Barrett to focus on the use of Google Apps to create ePortfolios. On this site, there are instructions on how to use the different elements of Google Apps to maintain e-portfolios. Are you a K-12 educator wanting to use Google products with your students? I recommend that you don't set up "regular" public Google accounts for them... instead, set up a GoogleApps for Education domain where you can enroll your students and control access.

3 Tools for Creating Digital Portfolios A digital portfolio is a collection of artifacts of learning that demonstrates growth, acquisition of skills or knowledge, and student creativity over time. As a mother, I knew I wanted to save these items so we could enjoy the memories, but as a teacher I was thrilled to discover the pride and joy my daughter felt as she reflected on her learning experiences. I realized that a digital portfolio could be more than simply a collection of things—it could be a vehicle for reflection and an opportunity for creating a sense of pride in students. Years later, I enjoy helping teachers across the country discover new ways to create digital portfolios with their students. With many choices in terms of organizational structure, procedures, and format, as well as a wide variety of applications to streamline the process of creating portfolios, there’s no one right way to create them. Ultimately, each teacher should decide what will work best for students. G Suite for Education Seesaw Book Creator

Fuoriaula blog - Fuoriaula In buona parte delle scuole in cui ho lavorato durante questi anni c'erano biblioteche ben fornite, ma deserte. Complice un servizio di prestito a singhiozzo (per mancanza di personale e/o per assenza di fondi), unito spesso a regolamenti interni pensati quasi per tenere lontani gli studenti, le biblioteche delle scuole in cui ho insegnato risultavano poco frequentate o tutt'al più utilizzate come parcheggio per studenti che non si avvalgono dell'ora di religione cattolica. Tuttavia l’intento di questo post non è però quello di discutere di biblioteche e programmi, ma di raccontare un’esperienza che ho condotto durante quest’ultimo anno: parlo di libri e podcast o, mutatis mutandis, di ascolto e lettura (come già recitava il titolo di questo articolo); due delle competenze-chiave della disciplina scolastica Italiano, ma soprattutto due delle competenze trasversali della cosiddetta educazione linguistica. Ma veniamo al racconto dell’esperienza. ​

Sons of Technology: eBinders: A Place for Collection, Reflection and Recollection A little more than a year ago I began to focus on a single question: “Why haven’t more teachers began to look into utilizing their student’s devices as a portfolio of work?” Please notice I say “more” teachers, as I know there are many amazing teachers who have created or dabble in the eBinder experiment. The question began egging me on the more and more due to my particular subject, Science. In Science we utilize an Interactive Science Journal or ISN. These spiral bound notebooks are meant to collect student work, glue in labs, reflect on the essential question, and organize student thought. Now as I began to become vocal about a digital ISN, many people began to take offence to my line of questioning. As I started my eBinder experiment I focused on one singular question “What is the purpose of any binder?” I believe one central theme of any binder is the incorporation of storytelling. Regardless of the structure, each post in the binder must reflect a single activity or task.
