I am a teacher. And also a nerd. And sometimes I do things in public that make others stare at me.

I am really interested in creating online portfolios for my students next year. It is not a requirement, but I think it would be something they can show off and be proud of. Ideally, they’d be online and we’d have QR codes on the student lockers so parents could see their kid’s work when they come in.


But I am stuck on the platform. It needs to be free (duh), support pictures and text (video would be a bonus). I’d also like it to be easy enough that an 8th grader could get a minilesson on it, then be able to upload their own material. Ability to comment would be a bonus. Any suggestions?

    Wouldn’t a blog work? Blogger by Google, Wordpress, Tumblr, etc could work.

  8. mawiafelicia answered: Penzu.com. It’s an online journal that can have photos uploaded, comments, and you can create a “class” journal that all students write in.
