A digital portfolio is a way to collect student work to show growth and reflection on their growth and how to improve.

Think-What a great way to have a place to share reflections/thought/challenges/victories with their teacher and other students.

Wonder-Could this be useful in K-2?]]> 2016-06-30 15:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/SimplySuzy/DigitalPortfolios/wish/115756247 nwong2 https://padlet.com/SimplySuzy/DigitalPortfolios/wish/115756470 See-focus was first in student learning, but that affects (spirals up) to pedagogical comsiderations like curriculum and make students more involved in their learning, and setting aside reflection time.

Think-I think the concepts and perspectives are pretty much spot on as this is a real reflection of implementation of digital portfolios in the school

Wonder-one of the wonder questions in the post was do portfolios and reflections lead to more self-awareness. It makes me wonder and to make sure that my students have a good reason and goals for making portfolios rather than just for the sake of making them.]]> 2016-06-30 15:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/SimplySuzy/DigitalPortfolios/wish/115756470 SimplySuzy https://padlet.com/SimplySuzy/DigitalPortfolios/wish/115756653 I SEE student portfolios can mirror real-life scenarios. In my role as a professional, I am required to include certain elements in my Digital Journal Portfolio. Beyond that, however I can pick and choose the manner in which I share my accomplishments and growth. It is not a tool for my teacher/boss - it is a tool for me! I THINK there is power in choice for students. Deciding what to include (and why) in a portfolio is a personal choice and if students are given that freedom, they will learn to make reflective choices. I WONDER how PicCollage and similar tools can help to display collections??]]> 2016-06-30 15:13:51 UTC https://padlet.com/SimplySuzy/DigitalPortfolios/wish/115756653 https://padlet.com/SimplySuzy/DigitalPortfolios/wish/115756739 See-Reflection doesn't just "happen".  We need to teach our students the art of conversing for the purpose of reflection.

Think- This article rocks!  So much of it resonated with me! I am sharing this with my colleagues

Wonder- WHY have we not been doing this right along?????

1. Do an activity have them brainstorm symbols and 1 or,2 words to reflect on activity i.e. #challenging
2. Small group share on teacher posed question or prompt, might also include a kinestheic component for fun and mix groups to extend their learning.
3 craft letter to others or self with advice for future. Effective b/c writing with real audience in mind. 
Reflections should have celebratory mood might include music, food, standing ovations...]]> 2016-06-30 15:17:02 UTC https://padlet.com/SimplySuzy/DigitalPortfolios/wish/115756868 nwong2 https://padlet.com/SimplySuzy/DigitalPortfolios/wish/115756932 See-again focusing not just on the making of portfolios but the why and how it connects to learning objectives and goals

Think- I think one of the hardest things is the concept of showing progress and thinking over time and how students learn and refine projects. It is easy to share a piece of work and to reflect in it, but does it really show the learning process.

Wonder- do my students know what they are learning and why? Do they know why they have and are creating a digital portfolio? What would 2 or 3 essential questions be for my students?]]> 2016-06-30 15:17:58 UTC https://padlet.com/SimplySuzy/DigitalPortfolios/wish/115756932 SimplySuzy https://padlet.com/SimplySuzy/DigitalPortfolios/wish/115757011 I SEE the power of knowing something well enough to teach it every day when I work with students and teachers. The more opportunities students have to become teachers is important. I THINK a wider audience of parents and community members makes the work students do more real and genuine - causing them to work harder. :)  I WONDER how several of these days/nights during the school year can strengthen the home:school connection?]]> 2016-06-30 15:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/SimplySuzy/DigitalPortfolios/wish/115757011 https://padlet.com/SimplySuzy/DigitalPortfolios/wish/115757130 See - A great home/school connection while giving ownership to the students.

Think - this is a great way to stop the "I didn't learn it that way and why are you not teaching it this way?" syndrome

Wonder - How can I get teachers to buy into this and it not be considered, "one more thing to do"
