I recently participated in an interview with Jethro Jones, middle school principal and creator of Transformative Principal podcast/website. We primarily discussed digital portfolios in the classroom. Topics of conversation included:
- Humble beginnings in implementing technology schoolwide
- Types of digital portfolios and preferred tools for assessment
- A process for collecting, curating and celebrating student work
- A possible progression a district might take in implementing digital portfolios
- Specific classroom examples of how teachers have transformed their instruction by using technology with the intent of making a positive impact on student learning

If you would like to engage in more discussion about digital portfolios in the classroom, I will be hosting a free study group on my book starting next week in our Google+ Community.
