INTEGRATION IDEA - PORTFOLIOS

How might you use this resource in a lesson plan to promote student-centered learning?

One of the great things about this tool is that it allows the teacher to share notes with students but allows the students to
organize them however they’d like. Because of the freedom students have, it encourages them to organize and do work in a
personalized way. I might often use this to share information with students (such as homework schedules for them to have, or
notes for them to save and edit).

VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION
• Based on the “value-added rating scale” above, how would you rate the technology integration you described, using the
selected resource?
• Explain your rating based on the rubric indicators.

I would rate this tool a 2. Though it doesn’t have a substantial effect on the lesson itself, it gives students constant access to their
resources and allows them to personalize their learning experience. Student mastery is supported because of this consistent,
organized tool. It would be used directly by students frequently, but would be difficult to use in a manner that transforms a
lesson.
