TOPIC: "How to use Portfolios to encourage deeper work on projects"
TOPIC: "How to use Portfolios to encourage deeper work on projects"
Goal: The teacher will have a portfolio to display information. The portfolio will set an example to students about “how to display information.” The message to the students is “I learned how to display my work safely and privately. You can, too.”
Procedure
Look at the resources below.
Write about “something that I found interesting in the ebook.” (This is your “performance of understanding” or POU)
Create a portfolio (website or blog) and place your POU on that page with the words “You can take this course at TinyURL.com/CPPP
If you don’t have time, call (954) 646 8246 and we can personalize the course to your needs and interests.

An example: You can see an example of a teacher’s explanation of “how to use portfolios to help students create deeper projects” by looking at TinyURL.com/FWPstart.
Mini-Badge: When you complete this course (and your work is accepted), you will receive a mini-badge that you can display on your portfolio.
Performance of Understanding
This phrase (POU) appears in the writings of Howard Gardner.
You can often meet the requirement of showing that you understand something that you read in the course by writing a summary. You can add a layer of depth by reflecting on “why I found this information interesting” and “how I can use this information in my teaching.” Focus especially on “here’s a procedure that I plan to use to put this information into practice.”
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR WORK
Build the portfolio.
Post your POU in the portfolio.
Find the link to the page in your portfolio that displays the POU.
Send that link to ManyPosters@gmail.com
The Center for PPP can display that link to show the world that you took time to think about new procedures to support the personalization of the experience of school in your classroom.
How can we personalize the experience of this website for each trainee? By following this procedure:
How can we personalize the experience of this website for each trainee? By following this procedure:
Talking is learning; listening is teaching.
The trainee clicks through an online article or downloads an ebook.
The trainee calls a CPPP volunteer to discuss procedures that grow from the reading.
After talking, the trainee writes a paper (a reflection, including a list of new procedures to follow) and puts that paper on a digital portfolio (website) for the world to view.
The trainee sends the link to the CPPP, and the CPPP displays the link on a part of the CPPP website TINYURL.com/CPPPBadges.

Suggestions from George Couros
Look at the first two tips
The length of lines of text needs to be controlled.
Avoid being wordy!

[A question sent to New Tech High: a request for an estimate of the range of time it takes for a typical teacher to learn... perhaps 15 minutes for users of Google drive and Google docs.... to perhaps 2 hours over a two-week period for newbies?]

at High Tech High, the training is part of their culture
at schools in Florida, there is no time allocated in the school day for teaching kids how to build and maintain a portfolio. I need to try to train kids outside the class, perhaps by peer to peer student to student training

Great questions. The answers aren't as clear. We get asked often the same questions and sometimes I will ask them in return, give the number of hours to have a proficient driver, or a student being proficient at a specific task...

The point is that learning takes on different lengths of time so I always hesitate to give the number of hours that might be needed.

Here our portfolios are part of our advisory class that is scaffolded and differentiated across the 4 years. Likewise, the portfolios are part of our culture here as well.

However, in my last school I wasn't allocated extra time to do the portfolio process. The key was to make it part of my classroom culture as well. So using the Portfolio process as part of the documentation of learning and using the technology tools necessary part of the classroom. Yes, it does take time to teach (as an example Google Drive, or website creation), I would look at what are teachers already doing, what tools are they already using and then how can they leverage those tools to document student proficiency and growth.

What is the intent of the portfolio? Is it just to do more work? Or can it be leveraged as a tool to document the learning of students? Finding avenues where it doesn't necessarily add time but to integrate it into the culture of learning.

Wagner advocates digital portfolios, and Looney’s presentation highlights how each microcredit is a dot that is CLICKABLE to reveal the work that supports the credit.
"The single most important thing you could do tomorrow for little to no money is have every student establish a digital portfolio where they collect their best work as evidence of their skills. Where they’re working with their teachers and other adults to present their best work, to iterate their best work, so that they actually have real progress they can show."
