A1: The first thing that comes to mind is a picture is worth a thousand words #3rdchat

hillaggie93 Jun 14 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: I think portfolios can be a way to reflect on how the Ss have changed over the year, to be able to look back at previous work. #3rdchat

spiraledu Jun 14 @ 9:12 PM EDT

#3rdchat A1.Portfolios give us a look at the whole student & what things they excelled at. It's a record of where they are at that time!

I don't have any elementary school pictures! Probably the issue! Darn 80's! :) #3rdchat

Q1: Portfolios could be great documentation for communicating with parents, child study teams, success plans, celebrations w/Ss #3rdchat

Rocking4th Jun 14 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Wow- showing versus telling! Portfolios are student-driven and report cards are teacher-driven (although some report reluctantly!) #3rdchat

lesahaney Jun 14 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: having report tells the story from your teachers perspective, the work tells it from yours #3rdChat

nataliemahany Jun 14 @ 9:13 PM EDT

In reply to @lesahaney

amoran4 Jun 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1-portfolios, if used right can truly show what students know and can do. Report cards just simply tell a grade. #3rdChat

Ok #3rdchat I might be multitasking but what is Q1?

carri_ponton Jun 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT

In reply to @WorlandReanne

spiraledu Jun 14 @ 9:31 PM EDT

#3rdchat A3. Portfolios should be a "living document" that you can add to at any time!

hillaggie93 Jun 14 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3: I think conferences are a great way to hear from the student, what is important to them, also teachable moment for reflection. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Jun 14 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3: At first guided, but then they should be able to showcase their learning, be prepared to discuss their learning. #3rdchat

Rocking4th Jun 14 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Q4- include an "ask an expert" page. The expert (adult or peer) could provide feedback to ss on a project. #3rdchat

spiraledu Jun 14 @ 9:49 PM EDT

can always ask for a page where you write a letter about all those things! #3rdchat sometimes we are proud of things, S don't think to be

In reply to @DonnaWeth, @acurriculumnerd, @WorlandReanne

JaimeVanderG Jun 14 @ 9:49 PM EDT

Every student in the class does it at the same time, so teachers can't possibly jump in. I sat in on my own kids & several others! #3rdchat

spiraledu Jun 14 @ 9:50 PM EDT

#3rdchat Q5. What value might portfolios provide future teachers, employers, or student selves?

spiraledu Jun 14 @ 9:51 PM EDT

#3rdchat For future teachers, portfolios gives you instant access to where the students actually are since grades aren't really standardized

JaimeVanderG Jun 14 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A5: Grades never show a true child. A portfolio moving with them shows who they are, where they shine, and where they need help! #3rdchat

lesahaney Jun 14 @ 9:51 PM EDT

So what did you name your kids? #3rdchat

Q5: I'd love to start the year knowing more about my new students. Great talking points! #3rdchat

spiraledu Jun 14 @ 9:52 PM EDT

#3rdchat I think for future selves, its great to see how some of their ideas were born. As a writer, I love seeing my writing evolve...

DonnaWeth Jun 14 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A5 I would know exactly where my students were at the beginning of the year! Highlight strengths #3rdchat

hillaggie93 Jun 14 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A5: Like others have said tonight, portfolios show so much more than number grades can! You get a better picture of the student. #3rdchat

bethfuston Jun 14 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A5: Future teachers can have an insight to their Ss before the year begins. Great for Ss who need a little extra help. #3rdchat

#3rdchat Q5. What value might portfolios provide future teachers, employers, or student selves?

spiraledu Jun 14 @ 9:53 PM EDT

#3rdchat For future employers, you can document your skills through a portfolio! @gcouros says everyone graduating should have website!

We are planning on using google sites for our students as online portfolios #3rdchat

A5: A portfolio gives a clear picture of the student. It can show growth, strengths/weaknesses, stamina...so many things. #3rdchat
