Okay, let’s get started #LAedchat. Question 1 coming right up.
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Q1: What are your thoughts on students having digital portfolios? Should they move along with the Ss through their school years? #LAedchat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: Digital portfolios have the ability to revolutionize and modernize the way students learn. #LAedchat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: Digital portfolios help encourage independence, responsibility, and reflection in our Ss. #LAedchat
derikthompson Aug 15 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2: I think digital portfolios are great ways to track and showcase Ss work from year to year. #LaEdChat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1: Unlike the old-fashion portfolio, digital portfolios can seamlessly move along with the Ss each yr in school and beyond. #LAedchat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Q2: What platform do you/could you use to have your Ss create a digital portfolio? Why? #LAedchat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: In the past I used @KidblogDotOrg but now I’m using @Seesaw for my Ss digital portfolios. #LAedchat
derikthompson Aug 15 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: I thought about using #googlesites as digital portfolios. That way it could add personality with the design. #LaEdChat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: Other platforms that our Ss could use to build a dig. portfolio are @Weebly, @googledrive, @evernote, @voicethread #LAedchat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:19 PM EDT

I like the idea of using #googlesites for digital portfolios. As of right now my Ss don’t have access to Google Suite. #LAedchat

Q3: What kinds of artifacts would you like to see your Ss adding to their digital portfolios? #LAedchat #LAedchat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: Artifacts to include in a digital portfolio - sample writings, “showing what they know” to solve math problems… #LAedchat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3: ...science investigation reports, research projects, passion projects, drawings, videos they created etc. #LAedchat
derikthompson Aug 15 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A3: I would like to see self reflections and maybe video messages to their future selves about what they have learned and hope to. #LaEdChat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Q4: Do you believe that Ss can create digital portfolio even in Kinder? Have you tried the @Seesaw app? #LAedchat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A4: Yes, I have used @Seesaw. I find it the easiest way to have Ss create digital portfolios. Even Kinder Ss can use Seesaw. #LAedchat

A4: Love that Seesaw is device agnostic. Can be used on Chromebooks to iPads. #LAedchat
derikthompson Aug 15 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A4: I think Kinder digital portfolios would be great! They can show what they know #LaEdChat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4: Using @seesaw, Ss can take a photo of their work, then add labels, a caption, or even a voice recording explaining their work. #LAedchat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Also with @Seesaw you can app smash and your Ss can create things with other apps and easily add to their portfolio. #LAedchat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:36 PM EDT

Here’s an example of a video one of my Ss created with @AdobeSpark https://t.co/73YRh58W4r #LAedchat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Commenting by others in another feature in @Seesaw which makes the digital portfolio so valuable. #LAedchat
plnaugle Aug 15 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Derik, since it is just you and me here tonight, I’m going to wrap up #LAedchat. I’m here to help you get started with @Seesaw any time.
