3 Tools for Creating Digital Portfolios
A digital portfolio is a collection of artifacts of learning that demonstrates growth, acquisition of skills or knowledge, and student creativity over time. As a mother, I knew I wanted to save these items so we could enjoy the memories, but as a teacher I was thrilled to discover the pride and joy my daughter felt as she reflected on her learning experiences. I realized that a digital portfolio could be more than simply a collection of things—it could be a vehicle for reflection and an opportunity for creating a sense of pride in students. Years later, I enjoy helping teachers across the country discover new ways to create digital portfolios with their students. With many choices in terms of organizational structure, procedures, and format, as well as a wide variety of applications to streamline the process of creating portfolios, there’s no one right way to create them. G Suite for Education Google’s suite of education tools has great potential for creating digital portfolios. Seesaw

A little more than a year ago I began to focus on a single question: “Why haven’t more teachers began to look into utilizing their student’s devices as a portfolio of work?” Please notice I say “more” teachers, as I know there are many amazing teachers who have created or dabble in the eBinder experiment. The question began egging me on the more and more due to my particular subject, Science. In Science we utilize an Interactive Science Journal or ISN.

As I started my eBinder experiment I focused on one singular question “What is the purpose of any binder?” I believe one central theme of any binder is the incorporation of storytelling. Regardless of the structure, each post in the binder must reflect a single activity or task. A learning artifact (or educational artifact) is an object created by students during the course of instruction.
