COOL Portfolio offers a fun and easy way for students to see and share what they’ve learned. By posting in-progress and completed assignments to their timeline, students capture their learning throughout the year and across grade levels. Teachers gain valuable insights into student progress, while parents can celebrate their child’s achievements!
8 preset learning goals and skill badges support a goal-oriented and rewarding learning experience. Goals are based on 21st century skills like team play, confidence and problem solving. Students select up to 3 for each assignment. This gives them space for ownership and choice, and boosts students’ motivation to learn! In turn, teachers can award one or more badges or pin an assignment in the special „Spotlight“ area.
Each badge obtained earns a student points. Points can be used to unlock additional Portfolio themes. This isn’t only fun, it also helps students build confidence! The total score for each badge is displayed in their profile. Here they can also view their current skill level: Bronze, Silver or Gold. This means students always have a clear overview of their progress and strengths, but also areas that still need attention.
Portfolio is fully integrated with Google for Education. Students can easily attach Docs, Slides or other files directly from their Drive. While students get to collect and present their work in one place, teachers enjoy easy assignment management. From your teacher timeline, you can filter, reward and spotlight posts, as well as visit student profiles to see individual progress.
