I enjoyed learning about a new topic that I was not familiar with.

This was a great class to build a resource that has made me reflect on my teaching.

I will definitely be implementing mindfulness practices in my school counseling office at my middle school.

Incredibly useful for personal and professional use.

I plan to have my students create their own portfolios and use them to showcase artifacts and work that they are proud of. I anticipate them feeling more accountable for their work and effort because of this assignment.

The exploration of portfolios and learning how they can be used with our students.

I really enjoyed this course. It was the perfect course for me to take, as I was a little confused about the portfolio requirement for the Master's program. Mara cleared everything up for me and guided me in creating a wonderful portfolio.

I can't wait to implement digital portfolios in my classes!

The assignments were real and useful -- I didn't feel like I was just checking items off of a checklist just to get a grade.

Probably one of the most useful classes I have ever taken! Everyone should be required to take this course!

I am going to start using digital portfolios with my students to have them reflect on their learning.

Having time to explore different portfolios and then build a personal portfolio. It was helpful to see the portfolios other students in the class were making and then get feedback because it gave me new ideas and helped me revise.

The course really helped me see the value of digital portfolios, not only for myself professionally, but for students to reflect on their own learning.

I hope to implement these strategies this fall!

I really appreciated the time to practice mindfulness. By logging my time and activities, it helped me to reflect on the effectiveness of the various strategies. Seeing the benefit of mindfulness for myself personally really showed me how important this is to use with my students.
