Each student created their own digital portfolio in Desire to Learn to share at their student led conference. This was helpful in guiding their interview with their parents. Using feedback from their work samples students had to write about math, language, 3 learning skills and then they could include up to 5 things of their choice. In each category, students had to include what they did well at and describe how/ why, what their next step was and the plan to implement it. In their choice category they had to describe the activity/learning and why they chose to include it. The students’ were able to imbed their iMovie trailer into this as well.
The portfolios put the ownership on the students’ to discuss their learning and many great conversations happened with the parents, student and myself. Parent feedback regarding was very positive. Click here to see an example
Very cool.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of using Explain Everything to create a digital slideshow to showcase a portfolio of work in a similar fashion with my students as a course culminating task. Did you find D2L to be a good medium for this task? How user friendly was it? How well could students showcase their work?
Thanks for sharing. :)
