SDD21: ePortfolios as Student Showcases
Hours: 1
Why present a static and limited PDF Portfolio when you can present a dynamic and unlimiting website? Now, more than ever, it is important for students to have a digital footprint which reaches the right audience. Help your students improve their digital literacy, showcase their lifelong learning, and reach employers with the content that matters. This workshop will showcase Google and Adobe tools for doing just that.
A participant walks away with:
- Listing the benefits of creating an ePortfolio; compare and contrast Google and Adobe tools
- Listing the steps to easily generate an intuitive and engaging website
- Demonstrating how an ePortfolio showcases lifelong learning
- Creating content that matters
- Reaching the right audience of employers
- Improving digital literacy
