Q1 Basics: Student Portfolio
The value of creating a Student Portfolio of your work
A student showcase portfolio is your chance to shine and show off your best work! It’s a way to reflect on what you’ve learned, how much you’ve grown, and the awesome things you’ve created. Your portfolio isn’t just for your teacher—it’s a way for you to take pride in what you’ve accomplished and share it with others. Think of it as telling your learning story, connecting what you’ve done in this course to the real world, and even inspiring others with your hard work and creativity! It can also be a valuable document when applying for a job or further schooling in the future.
INTRODUCING THE STUDENT SHOWCASE PORTFOLIO
The Showcase Portfolio is a Google Slide Deck that can be used as a student portfolio to document accomplishments in a “Thing” or Quests. The slides can be modified to meet your needs as you complete Quests and “Things.” It also can be exported as a Microsoft PowerPoint or PPT file.
