Digital Learning Podcast: Reflection and Digital Portfolios

In this episode of the podcast, Holly and Matt celebrate that the end of the school year is getting closer and closer! As students start wrapping up their work for the year, digital portfolios and reflection can be a big help. Students can use digital portfolios to display their best work -- what Holly calls a "showcase portfolio." Or they can select items that demonstrate all of their growth throughout the year. It's OK if you haven't been adding to portfolios all year long. It's not too late! Also, we discuss the power of reflection -- a quick practice you can add in just a few minutes that brings important transfer and lasting learning. Read more:
