Theme for class today is: everything is going virtual, how can that help you manage the real, physical world.
Hearing from Heather, the CEO of Rripple digital ePortfolios for student and teachers: One place to integrate all your multimedia, class by class in a student-friendly (private) and teacher-friendly way.
Capitalizing this move into "Web 3.0" where all of our stuff is in the cloud. Imagine sending a ZIP file of your portfolio as part of your application to college, a portfolio you've cultivated since 7th grade and pulled together. You can even use templates provided by Rripple.
"Lifeflow management for the Millennials" and such. Ain't it cool?
Update: This helps "unbundle" credentials, not just from diplomas but from the vast variety of experiences we can hold in our portfolios.
Update, June 1: talking about the immediate NEED for this... "save this for life" pitch to the parents? is that the real need? is there a real need for keeping stuff? Or do you have anything that can come out of the ePortfolios that are ACTIONABLE. Like, a consultant that can say to parents "OK, your 11 year old is really gifted in X or Y, we're going to keep tabs on that." Like a way to read the blind spots that parents may not see for themselves. Like a very contextualized consultant who can say where your kid is achieving, with an eye towards curating the portfolio for later college applications.
