Digital Portfolios and Google Tools

Educators are often looking for forms of assessment that are both engaging and meaningful. Portfolios are a good way for educators and students to assess learning over time and share a collection of work that illustrates growth and provides valuable insights into the learning process. With access to educational technology increasing, educators can utilize digital tools to help students create portfolios that can easily be developed as they progress through the year, and can be expanded as they move into later grades. Additionally, using Google tools for digital portfolios enhances sharing and collaboration over traditional paper portfolios. In this eLearning course, participants will explore the benefits of using portfolios as a form of assessment with their learners, and consider how specific features of Google Suite tools can be used to support portfolio instruction in the classroom.
