Excerpt from the book:
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 in additiona to a transcript's report of the Grade Point Average,
then you are ready for introducing Digital Portfolios to students.
Standards:
1. No personal information (the student might want 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 your 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...

The vision: Students in Florida (and other places) could use the same format that students in California use at High Tech High School
(1) Admission officers could see the school work that earned the 3.7 GPA that the student's transcript shows.
(2) Admissions officers could see and hear the student's reflection and thought processes... (we know that some people make decisions about you based only on the sound of your voice -- Malcolm Gladwell's book Blink documents cases where a
... if students in Florida take the time to assemble a web site with examples of their work.
(3) STUDENTS CAN GO FARTHER by using a BLOG to describe their "metacognition" (their awareness about how they think and how their critical thinking has been improved by specific projects)
(4) STUDENTS CAN USE YOUTUBE videos to introduce their style of talking and thinking when they REFLECT on their projects. It's not only the PROJECTS that speak about the students.... the students can SPEAK OUT about their work. The Digital Portfolio
