Online platforms are available to make digital portfolios MySphere, Google Sites, FlipGrid, See Saw, and a few more. When starting to build a digital portfolio, let students choose the medium of expression/platform or guide them in choosing one. Some might prefer to start their blog, some may want to form a series of videos, some may want to visually illustrate their learning journey and others may find joy in building a website of their own. It’s important to plan what would be included in a portfolio early on so students can structure their portfolios accordingly. Students can select their work, organize it in the portfolio, and write reflections periodically.
