So we've created this stuff on our iPod, now what?
That is the question I have been currently wrestling with. I have always been a proponent of student portfolios. Since my first year of teaching, my students have always had a portfolio of their project. When technology started to appear in the classroom I quickly jumped into HyperStudio and had my students creating digital portfolios.
After the end of HyperStudio (I know it's back, but I'm not interested), I took a hiatus from the digital portfolio for a number of reasons. Eventually, they reemerged using iWeb. iWeb worked well, but at times even it can be too much for students. Plus, I became involved in the iPod 1:1 project, and that quickly swallowed a lot of time.
So now here I am again. We're creating these projects. They're great learning experiences, but what do you do with them when they are done. Just today, a student made the comment, "My project's done. What do I do with it now?" Obviously it will be shared with the class as a student presentation, but then what? I'm thinking that it may be time for iWeb to make a reappearance.
I feel that it is important for the student to be able to share their work. Not only with the class, but with family and friends. I also want the students to be able to accomplish this on their own, without me having to prepare 32 websites.
