A simple template for very young students

Kindergarten is not too early to introduce students to ePortfolios. At this stage though, they do need to be kept simple. This Kindergarten page has two artifacts: a journal and a video recording of the student answering the question What do I want to be when I grow up? (thank you Danielle Bolduc of Oyster River Middle School in New Hampshire for this idea). Keep in mind that the teacher will initially build this with the expectation that the student will copy the page. This will bring both the video and a journal for Kindergarten journaling into the student's own portfolio.

Getting ready

This recipe requires a video recording of the student answering the question What do I want to be when I grow up? Since the video will be transferred to the student's own portfolio after copying, it does not need to take up permanent space in your portfolio. If space is an issue, it can be saved to site files and deleted once the student copies the page.
