Digital Portfolios
So I thought about it on my ride back (BTW my car did pass inspection) from our meeting with the high school and felt like regardless of the use of our portfolios once kids get to 9th grade, that I can see our kids using them independently. Right at the end of our discussion, Dan and Jocelyn and I were talking about a Classroom 2.0 version for students. They have portfolios now in the form of Facebook and Myspace, even if what's in those portfolios isn't what we would consider for school. Is that something that we could organize in Ning without exposing students to unsafe practices? Not having set up a Ning myself, I'm not sure of the standards.

Again, I think that we aren't even close to discussing a platform. We haven't discussed, as a school or committee, what purpose these would serve for us and how we want to embed this within our curriculum. Until we do that, we don't know what functionality we want. I don't want to move in a direction where the current technology constrain our decisions. By design, it should go the other way around.
If there are folks in the building who want to begin that conversation that would be great!
