Ready to move beyond the traditional backpack of papers? Digital portfolios are a fantastic way for students to document their learning journey and showcase their best work. This workshop will walk you through setting up a simple, effective digital portfolio using tools you already have, like Google Slides or a class blog. We’ll discuss how to guide students in selecting and reflecting on their work, turning a collection of assignments into a powerful record of growth.
