In Collier County, some middle schools have started to enforce the use of a digital portfolio. Some students enjoyed having a "digital archive", and others did not care of to even upload or post anything on to it. Some teachers made "iPortfolio" a requirement for grades on some assignments, other teachers did not care for it either. I interviewed my younger sister and asked her about her experience and opinion on the enforcement of a digital portfolio at her school.
I absolutely loved that the textbook talked about "Teaching with Clickers", my favorite days in school were the days we used the Clickers. Clickers were such an easy way to review content before a chapter test, and to make sure you knew what was being taught. I absolutely loved using clickers in class, because I always worked with one of my classmates and made sure we got the correct answers. Sometimes, teachers allowed our scores with the clickers to replace our lowest quiz scores. The days we had clickers were the days the class was more engaged. Clickers have a way of bringing students together and taking them out of their academic shell.
