Student E-Folios

Jeff Utecht, of The Thinking Stick blog discusses a great idea for any classroom.

E-folios.

Essentially, each student will create a blog. On their personal blogs, they will create categories for each of the subjects. There, they will keep samples of their work, be it scans, video, whatever.

Then, one category is labelled SLC (Student Led Conferences).

In the SLC, the student puts some of their favorite examples of their work from all the subjects. Then, during the parent-teacher interview, the students can lead the meeting and show their work to their parents.

Student blogs also provide students with the opportunity to reflect on their own learning.
