Digital Portfolios
What is a digital learning portfolio?
A digital portfolio is a computer-based collection of student performance. Portfolios make classroom learning more accessible to parents because they provide a window into student learning. A portfolio showcases both student achievement and student learning over time. Both teachers and students can capture learning using photos, videos, drawings, text, PDFs, and links. They can also import directly from most popular apps
