@lookforsun For me the only way portfolios work either in paper or digital is if we look for growth in the process and not simply product

@lookforsun This is great. I am involved in a project in Boston to utilize tools to teach writing. I will pass this along.

@lookforsun I think districts though, need to choose a common system. Not req. but makes expectations and PD more manageable

@lookforsun Agree. Busy teachers need to learn to appoint student "webmasters" for the week. Have them post the daily homework and notes.

Instead of learning platform we giving Google+ a try for a hybrid class. Synchronous meetings using Hangout. Discussions using streams.

Checking out the new google sites interface as this is the website platform I reccomend to most teachers.
