 Please welcome Shawna Farley to Somethin' to Tech About! 

Shawna currently works as the Academic Coach and grades 3-5 EIP (Early Intervention Program) teacher at West Chatham Elementary with the Savannah Chatham County Public School System. She has been an educator for 17 years and has recently achieved Google Certified Educator Levels 1&2. Shawna loves integrating technology into everything she teaches. She describes her tech style as mostly student driven. She has discovered that giving students choice and voice in not only how they learn but how they share what they learn has brought about an elevated level of excitement and engagement for students. 

Shawna has shared some great resources that are mentioned in the podcast, so be sure to take a look and let us and Shawna know how you plan to use some of her samples in the comments!

Districts with G-Suite for EDU have everything they need to build successful student portfolios with Google Docs, Google Slides, or Google Sites. In previous episodes, we focused on ways student produce digital evidence of active learning by creating, collaborating, communicating, and thinking critically.  Today we share ways students can create digital portfolios to organize and publish their evidence of learning using their choice of Docs, Slides, or Sites.
​
Why build portfolios?
  • They are the real D.E.A.L.!  Portfolios represent the work students produce, their Digital Evidence of Active Learning
    • Creativity - student express their personalities in a variety of ways
    • Communication - written or recorded reflections communicate process & growth
    • Critical Thinking - construction, selection, reflection
    • Collaboration - Hmmm - class portfolios! Group research projects!
 
  • Adding writing samples directly to a portfolio on a regular basis throughout the year will result in a wealth of student work as well as amazing evidence of growth.
