Portfolio Choices
Proving that you have learned in each section of our class will take a lot of documentation. There are multiple ways to do this, and many are digital. We will explore these options. During the first few weeks of school, you will choose one of these options so you can begin documenting your work. To check to see whether certain sites are "mobile friendly," which means it can be seen on many devices, plug in a URL to this website, and it will check for you.

Other Options...
Yes, there are MANY different options for you to keep track of all of your published work. If you are very familiar with another option (even if your teacher is not), and you can prove this by using it well, let your teacher know about it. As long as you can work with it independently... why not?!
