Showcase Student Work with bulb

How do you celebrate and showcase student work? Technology tools make it easier than ever to set a purpose for learning in your classroom. Digital portfolios connect students to real audiences and give them a space to showcase their work from any subject area across multiple school years. Whether your students are wrapping up a unit on persuasive writing or collecting examples of their work to show off in a college application, digital portfolios are a must-have for students of all ages!

Digital Portfolio Tool

I’m really excited about bulb, a digital portfolio tool that helps students and teachers showcase their work. What’s really special about bulb is that students and teachers can curate their own work and create their own multimedia products within this tool. By adding video, text, and other media, students can demonstrate their understanding and easily share their work for feedback and reflection. With bulb, students can hand pick the best examples of their work from inside and outside of the classroom to create a collection of products that showcases their accomplishments. bulb is student-centric and goes with students from class to class, school to school and beyond into their college and career.

Students who use bulb as a digital portfolio can share their work with authentic audiences. By establishing a digital space to show off their work, students will see how their classwork is relevant and connected to the real world. I love how bulb is used to organize student creations and makes it easier than ever to share their creations with an audience outside of the classroom.

I’m excited to join bulb this year for a few fantastic events at FETC. The FETC conference takes place later this month. The team at bulb has outlined some of the special things they are doing during this event.
