I think that this was a very innovative idea in the past few years, and could be improved upon with the usage of google classroom and google drive, as well as tools like padlet, seesaw, and other digital tools available today. You can tell that the students are engaged and learning in this classroom, because they know that their work is going to be seen by their teacher, and that they are going to be held accountable for the work that should be in their digital folders. I could see doing something like this on google drive. I have just tried out google classroom this week with my 2nd and 3rd graders, and I am interested to see how something like this could turn into a digital portfolio.

I will likely use this idea in my classroom this year integrated with Seesaw so that it can be shared. I have had 3rd graders in past years create PSA videos on iPads about the ocean, but didn't know about or use any sharing platforms with them!
