Web tools to creating student portfolios

Presented within this blog is information regarding student portfolios and monitoring student progress.  The suggested apps or sites are Kidblog, Slides, Blogger, Evernote, and Three Ring. All of these are free of charge. A student portfolio creates a resource that shows learning, growth, and achievements. Kidblog allows the teacher to have oversight in into student blogs or accounts. It’s a web tool that assists in creating a student portfolio. If given permission, parents can see the contents in their child’s information. No personal information is required to create this blog. Other google sites are slides and blogger, in which the teacher can continue to monitor student use and who sees their site. Evernote appears to be a great way to organize student information for a portfolio or assessing student progress. This app can download photos, video, and students can write comments. It can sync to different mobile devices with everything saved and accessible. Evernote can’t be publicly viewed, nor can teachers monitor its use.
Kidblog seems like a great opportunity to allow students an opportunity to work with technology, while giving teachers a source to organize student work, and assess for improvements. The Evernote app would be useful as teachers to create a portfolio.
