Owners of their Learning: Students Proud to Share ePortfolios

This is a cross-post from Students Proud to Share ePortfolios on Innovate 2015 at Graded School.

During Innovate 2015 showcase time, a group of Middle School and Grade 9 students shared their ePortfolio blogs. They were so proud of their work and eager to explain. Participants were able to hear from students and also take away annotated blog post samples highlighting important elements on the post.

The following explanations were available at all times, indicating what to look for on the blog posts for each Division, and what the transition from Middle to High School looks like.

See snapshots of an annotated blog post below. Those annotations have been based on Anatomy of an ePortfolio: On Learning How to Learn and Anatomy of an ePortfolio: Developing Core Values.

See below the list of student blogs and blog posts showcased at Innovate 2015. Most of the blog posts were selected by the students:
