The Student Digital Portfolio
Developing the process of having students record and reflect on their work in digital portfolios, helps foster independent learners and also makes work easier for teachers.
A student digital portfolio is a multimedia collection of student work that provides evidence of student reflection, competency development and learning progression. This triangulates home-teacher-student feedback and assessment, enabling us to:
- Celebrate all students as learners
- Improve Home-School Communication
- Facilitate Better Feedback
- Highlight the Process of Learning
- Demonstrate Progress Over Time
- Guide Students to Become Self-Directed Learners
- Maximize Formative Assessment
- Allow Teachers to Work Smarter
- from Matt Renwick's book Digital Portfolios in the Classroom
