 * Notes, please feel free to edit and clarify **

Christine Nicolau [lower school kids] is using **Google Sites** making a page for each year including a page for a bio and a homepage. She suggests discussing with each kid what’s going on before photographing their journals WITH a note in their own words on each entry. Different people shared their experiences and questions - Using **Evernote** captures notes and projects - keep as a display. Each student has their own account. **Explain Everything** has pages and kids can capture their work AND can save it as a movie and eventually bring it into Google Sites.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">iBook Creator is for ipad and is easy for little kids. iBook Author is for older kids.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">What happens with portfolios after they leave the school? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I believe you can upload video to **Evernote** **Premium and Google Drive and Sites.**

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">What is the point of a digital portfolio – Assessments? Parents? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Kids curating their best work say 2-3 times a year, or at the end of the year, allowing kids see their progress? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">What about having folios available to other students or even on permanent storage in the library?

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Evernote** is much more robust now. [Refer to Montclare Kimberly, and Bill Cambel] <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Evernote** also take voice recording, MP3’s and video, **VoiceThread**, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">There is a class called **E-portfolio** using **WIX** or **Wordpress** – at Columbia Prep as an elective for juniors and seniors <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Educlipper** [$8] curated all content into one location bring in links etc., now has a portfolio component.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lightpost.marymcdowell.net <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Product or process orientated portfolio? Remember allowing for time to organize it……

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Portfolio Day!!! <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">School wide? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Twice a year? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">It’s also about teacher’s knowing more about each kid. Progress and expectations would be more transparent. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Digital portfolios can also be an investment in pride. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Would they be organized by process or progress? Or what is your best work? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And is it about teacher’s assessment. OR, allowing one component for only their best work and the rest is about progress work.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Allow for different people’s values when viewing. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Is the interface still a problem? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Will standardization be an issue?

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">What about backup of all this work?!
