Your Digital Dossier

I found this video via a tweet from Andy Carvin, watched it, and kept it open in one of my 30+ tabs on Firefox, with all good intentions to blog about the video.  Time, lately, has not been my BFF, and meanwhile, Steve Dembo posted the video, with a message worth repeating.  From his blog:

As you watch this video, consider what these students will look like when they enter your classroom. Honestly, will they care one whit whether you put their first and last name on the same page as their photo? Will their parents insist that you keep their identity private… or will they insist that you exhibit their learning publicly?

Is your school prepared for students that will have a larger digital portfolio before they enter kindergarten, than most of us educators have as adults?”

As an educator, I am mindful of my responsibility to teach--and model--responsible digital citizenship, so I have used Steve Dembo‘s New Permanent Record material extensively over the years. Although I will add the Digital Dossier video to the mix of things I use with students, I want you to know, Steve, that nothing surpasses the work you have done on this subject.

BTW, love the shiny new look of your blog!

thanks for sharing, i liked this video.

I’m wondering right now what is the current best deal for a digital video camera that connects easily to your computer so you are able to transfer the video you recorded from your camera to your computer for video editing and movie making.iPhone 5 release date

I am filing an online application that needs a digital photo. It say there that if I don’t have one, I could scan my photo with a digital scanner. I have a HP scanjet scanner. I know this is a dumb question and I think that flatbed scanners are digital scanners. I am right or wrong.
