How can teachers use digital porfolios as tools for learning?
Digital teaching porfolio is a collection of educational and professional materials that are stored in electronic format. Its a collection of material that shows what teacher have done and growth through out their career overtime. Beginning to build a digital teaching porfolio as soon as you start taking education courses is a way to keep all the activities and ideas from classes. As ta teacher begin to teach they can continue to add and build their digital portfolio. They can allow parent and student the chance to know get to know them through the digital portfolio and what their learning style is. The parents and student can have a better understanding of who is teaching them or teaching their kids.

Summary and Connection
This chapter focused on engaging students in performance assessment and reflective learning. It disscussed how to get students involve in their own learning and curricullum. By doing that the students are not only more involve but they also know what is required of them. By having something such as a rubric can guide a student to fully understand what work deserve a 10 out of 10 compare to a 3 out of 10. I did not use to bother to look at rubrics, but after a teacher brought up the topic in class on how important it is to know what you are being graded on. I try to make it a point to look back on every rubric after every assignment, if one is provided for me.
With more assignments moving to project-based learning and the rubric for assessment, it does become important to pay attention to those details! Students can truly determine their own grade many times by understanding and following a rubric's elements and quality components...as I would hope you have experienced in this class!
