Tech Talk: How can we build portable classrooms and eportfolios?

I have scooped two fantastic services for education this week, that I am sharing with many of our lower school teachers.  The first is Edmodo.  This incredibly robust web-based service centers around a very interactive discussion board where students and teachers can post and reply to any classroom topic.  Students in Mrs. Shallhorn's and Mrs. Samuel's classes have been using Edmodo to discriminate Internet sources based on author, source, domain name, and content.  Want to join our discussion?  Email me and I will send you your parent code to join your child's Edmodo classes.

When I was young I remember teachers sending me home with a huge folder filled with all the projects and papers I had worked hard on all year.  As is usually the case, all of these masterpieces have been lost over time.  Evernote is an online eportfolio service that will store each student's work from year to year.  At the end of term it is fun for kids to choose their best works to show next year's teacher, parents and share with their friends.  Best of all, every child's work is available to them anywhere they go, even on mobile devices.  My vision is that each student maintain an eportfolio of their educational experiences every year so they can demonstrate what they've learned when they become seniors and beyond.  We are all a culmination of our experiences and Evernote can help our students keep them close at hand.  If you would like to learn more visit Its the question that drives us.
