<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>At my school Years 7 and 8 work in Learning Neighbourhoods of
about 100+ students. At the end of each semester students do a Student Led
Presentation(SLPs) for their parents. This is pretty much a showcase of their
learning throughout the semester. In my Y7 NH students used their digital
portfolios for this presentation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I provided them with a template created in Dreamweaver. The
students filled the pages with their information for each subjects and
hyperlinked to samples of work such as drawings, PPT slides, Movie clips, music,
photos etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>At the SLPs their portfolios were projected on the electronic
whiteboard and students showed their work to their parents in the presence of
their mentor teachers. I asked for their permission to be present at some of
these as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Creation of DPs is a good way of meeting a lot of VELS
since ICT has only 3 periods in a 10 day cycle. The students enjoyed working on
DP’s and learnt a great deal. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
