·

·

img_0256-1I 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.
