An invitation to teachers and students: Visit HighTechHigh.org, look at their Digital Portfolios, and then start building YOUR DIGITAL PORTFOLIO (contact me for tips)


Here is a link to a book called SHOW YOUR WORK  How to Make A Digital Portfolio


This book allows students to build on the work of Dr. Fischler, who promotes the use of computers, projects and discussions in classes.


that link is going to a document that can be downloaded from Google Drive.


I'm interested in working with students who want to create their digital portfolios and PUT THE PORTFOLIOS ONLINE.   This will raise the profile of this important procedure.

You can see digital portfolios at  www.TinyURL.com/exampledp   Ben Staley's DP at HighTechHigh.   I encourage you to share this invitation to students and ask the students to contact me if they want help in organizing and displaying their DP.

www.HighTechHigh.org is the location of other digital portfolios.

http://www.hightechhigh.org/schools/HTH/?show=dp    Lots of Examples of DPs   
These links will take you to the place where High Tech High displays its students' DPs.

This effort builds on tips that Dennis Yuzenas and Matt Blazek have given about HOW TO USE PROJECTS in the classroom.

Will your students be able to find examples of their work to show future teachers and to refer back to learning that took place earlier this year?

Will some of their projects be available online to REINFORCE the learning that happened earlier this year?

A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.   Margaret Mead

If people are coming to work excited, if they're making mistakes freely and fearlessly, if they're concentrating doing things, rather than preparing reports and going to meetings - then somewhere you have leaders. - Robert Townsend

    Digital Portfolios come to East Side High in New Jersey (with VIDEOS!)

    Click HERE   This skeleton of a digital portfolio was assembled in 30 minutes.   That's the power of Google Sites and Google Drive.

    https://sites.google.com/site/jasminerdigitalportfolio/more-about-digital-portfolios

    Have a look . . .



    This is a typical digital portfolio at High Tech High
    ... built on Google SITES software.  What can a student
    at East Side High produce? (in 30 minutes)


    This is the portal to the Digital Portfolios of
    High Tech High.  CLICK HERE to introduce
    your students and teachers to another way of
    sharing our students' work


    Give a click!

    If you know how to use Google Drive
    If you know how to use Google's SITES web-making software
    If you would rather see a student's actual work rather than a transcript's report of the Grade Point Average,
    then you are ready for introducing Digital Portfolios to students.

    The procedure is described by Dennis Yuzenas and Matt Blazek (projects) at these locations
    Dennis Yuzenas

    Matt Blazek


    See Matt's description of the "List of Projects" CD



    If you are a teacher and you want some tips about how to set up a digital portfolio, you can see the structure in Jasmine's blog.

    Standards:
    1. No personal information (the student might wnat to put her actual name, but I encourage everyone to call themselves "Fred Jones at Indiana Middle School in Freeport, Ind.")
    2. No email links to a "REAL" ;email address, but you can invite comments to the site.
    3.  ADD YOUTUBE videos to allow visitors to HEAR the "performance of understanding" or exhibition of the student's learning.   High Tech High DPs don't generally have video components, so the East Side High version will be the next step in the evolution of DPs.  The VIDEO does NOT have to show the face of the student.  Shy students can hide behind the camera and simply give a tour of a poster or book or report by describing what was learned.  See the videos at River Cities Communities Charter School...
