Go Digital

Personalized learning is a hot topic in the world of education reform. Students come in every year with different attitudes, backgrounds, and abilities. The days of teaching utilizing one strategy at a time are a thing of the past. 

As more districts take on 1:1 initiatives and students are have more access to technology, I dare you to use it! 

Go digital with a digital portfolio. Here are 2 tools that are free to use:

The first is Google sites. Sites is one of the Google Apps visit: sites.google.com. If Google Apps for Education (GAFE) is utilized, there will be unlimited storage space available when compared to a personal gmail account. Sites can be created by the students with very limited knowledge of website building or HTML. Once students have built their site, with one click the site can be shared via a link. This is also a great way to share student work with students. With one activity, the game was changed, while increasing engagement and allowing students some range to express what they learned. 

The second tool is Seesaw. Seesaw is an app that keeps all data together by class. Teachers can simply create a class, use a class code for students to join, and students can upload media. Students can record themselves explaining the lesson, take pictures, or create a blog post. Seesaw also has new features with seesaw plus. The new features include a new formative assessment tool.
