Portfolio

What is Brightspace Portfolio?

Portfolio is a tool that was designed to document student learning for students of all ages—making it easy for them to track and share their progress, reflections, and learning experiences. The Portfolio tool allows educators to view evidence of learning, to record shared and private anecdotal notes, align artifacts with curriculum expectations, TDSB Global Competencies & learning skills.
