Portfolios for Student Work -Working with teachers this week discussing the new google sites and the purpose behind portfolios.

GRAPHICS class October 19th and 20th - teach from site

Teachers are using for specific content (Photography, graphics, multimedia) and discussing how to connect to career opportunities with a more multi purpose use.

Link to Portfolio

Level one is integrating into a content area.  We will explore building wide portfolios and what students would like to showcase this year. I plan to revisit this post http://www.gettingsmart.com/2012/07/5-essential-questions-eportfolios before jumping into a building wide portfolio with stakeholders before piloting and working on a template.

Fall Newsletter - Digital Citizenship week 10/16-20th

Fall Newsletter link shared with staff - Using Smore to design a newsletter to communicate with staff.  The design of a newsletter is more appealing than an length email.
I am hoping by modeling new ways to communicate news with staff, we will begin to think about design of our communications, postings and lessons.

I have been seeing lots of posts on Book Creator and decide to take a look at how it can be using on chromebooks.

Here are some resources to review.
