Plan for Publishing Student Work

Publishing student work can be fantastic for your classroom. Not only does it show the outside community what is going on in the class, it's a great way for students, and their parents to be proud of their accomplishments.

To do this though I have developed a plan to create this online portfolio!

1.) Parent Permission  - School Policy
Although there is no real school policy for sharing student work , our school has in the past send home forms that have allowed parents to opt-out of having their students work published. To be on the safe side, I will be creating a permission slip that outlines my objectives.  The letter will tell parents that I want to show off the great work that their children have created. Privacy in mind, I will let parents know what will be shared (Student's first name and semester) and where it will be shared.

2.) What I will Share
Each unit  I have students working on a variety of assignments and projects. I want to take the most dynamic, interactive and best looking examples of student work  to show them to the public. There are good assignments, and then there are assignments that are interesting to look at. I want to show work that people are interested in seeing.  I don't want to share things like essays, or worksheets - but timelines, videos, powerpoints and drawings - those are all things that I want to share.

3.) How I will showcase the work
I've really looking forward to showcasing the work, but it's important that the people who are viewing the website know what they are looking at.  I plan on breaking up my portfolio by the units that I have covered. Each unit should have a section showcasing something that the students have created.  I also will have a paragraph explaining what the students did, and what was being covered int the class.
