How Fanschool Portfolios Can Help Homeschoolers and Microschoolers
Portfolios are also a great way for homeschoolers and microschoolers to showcase their learning. They can be used to collect and share work samples, projects, and other evidence of learning.
Portfolios can be used to track progress over time, set goals, and reflect on learning.
Fanschool’s portfolio network is easy to create and use. Students can start an article to write about and upload work samples to their portfolio (or profile). They can add tags and other metadata to make their work more interesting and discoverable. Parents and teachers can also view and respond to student work in portfolios.
Here are some of the benefits of using Fanschool portfolios for homeschoolers and microschoolers:
- Portfolios can help track progress over time. By collecting work samples from different points in time, students can see how their learning has evolved. This can be a helpful way for students to set goals and stay motivated.
- Portfolios can help showcase their work. When students share their work with others, they are able to demonstrate their skills and knowledge. This can help them build confidence and self-esteem.
- Portfolios can help students reflect on their learning. When students take the time to reflect on their work, they are able to think about what they have learned and how they can improve. This can lead to deeper learning and understanding.
If you are a homeschooler or microschooler, I encourage you to use Fanschool portfolios to showcase your learning. They are a great way to track your progress, share your work, and reflect on your learning.
Here are some additional tips for using Fanschool portfolios:
- Add articles regularly. Add new work to your portfolio on a regular basis helps you track your progress over time.
- Get feedback on your work. Ask your parents, teachers, and peers to give you feedback on (and actively respond to) your work. This will help you improve and get what you want.
- Share your profile with others. Sharing your portfolio with your family, friends, teachers, and potential employers is a great way to showcase your skills and knowledge.
My parents started a microschool in Santa Barbara, California in the 1980s. Using technology today, we should all be able to feel like owners of our own school.
