"Online Portfolio", A Tool for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:
In this session, you will walk away with a very well known and simple tool that will enable students to record the work they do in any given subject throughout their middle and high school. With this tool, you will be able to give feedback in one place and students will be able to save their work and see their growth during their school years. Some even might use it as a tool to showcase their work as they apply for college.
