Here are three reasons why you should join districts like us in adopting this technology.
1. Teachers can offer more insights into students than just their level of work.
Educational institutions and employers are demanding more and more out of students in today’s competitive environment. They no longer focus merely on grades, but also look at personality traits, behaviors, and social presence. With the CN ePortoflio, your teachers can provide students with real-time validation of their knowledge, behaviors, and skill sets by issuing one of the platform’s micro certification badges. This lets students showcase their personality and characteristics as well as their academic work in one easily accessible location for educators, classmates, and employers to review.
2. Students can exhibit their work to gain more professional opportunities.
With their credentials and characteristics housed in one virtual location, each student can grant access and visibility to whomever they choose by sharing their unique URL. They are given lifelong access and ownership of their ePortfolio, allowing them to continuously add to their profile. Any employer can review the student’s relevant projects, issued certifications, achievement badges, competency, and recommendations. Talk about streamlining the job search!
3. School districts can use social networking to improve curricula.
As virtual learning communities continue to grow, virtual tools become more essential. Technology like the CN ePortfolio will excite both your students and teachers by combining learning incentives and social interaction. Similar to social media, the digital tool has the ability to connect educators and students from all over the world, serving as an academic social network that allows students to interact and collaborate on courses and projects in real time. Implementing this tool into your district will open doors to new educational strategies, insights, and perspectives while offering your students a virtual platform to network and build professional relationships that will benefit their future.
With technology entwined in almost every part of our culture, it is important for educators to effectively use it in a way that will further the success of their students. The CN ePortfolio introduces academic networking in a new way, and this technology can serve as a major asset to your learning community with its ability to highly engage students in formal, informal, and social learning.
