Some suggestions to teachers. Why not click and spread the idea of "creating instead of consuming"?

Here's a slide show or presentation that does two things

1.  The slide show demonstrates Seth Godin's rule about "a good photo and a short sentence" for designing a good powerpoint.

2.  The slide show stimulated me to create something.   I hope you are stimulated, too

    Version 2 presentation to guidance counselors about the FREE WEBSITE PROJECT (Digital Portfolios)

    6. What if…? ...students could display their best work?
    7. Tony Wagner (Harvard University) “The most important thing you could do tomorrow for little to no money is have every student establish a digital portfolio, so that they actually have real progress they can show.”
    8. Ask every student To establish a digital portfolio where they collect their best work. Students actually have real progress they can show. Tony Wagner
    9. A guidance counselor in Michigan: I could see high school students creating digital portfolios to display their work. (C. M. Lindberg).
    10. Let’s look at that again... A guidance counselor in Michigan writes in a blog: I could see high school students creating digital portfolios throughout high school and then finishing with a cumulative assessment at the end of their senior year. By providing students with a way to showcase work they will have a clearer vision as a learner, find pride in their work, and share with possible colleges or employers. (C. M. Lindberg).
    11. Digital Portfolios are not new Students at High Tech High create websites to share their best work. Ben Staley organized his work by year
    12. Digital Portfolios can include “everything” Students at High Tech High create websites to share their best work. Ben Staley shows some books that he reviewed
    13. Digital Portfolios can show essays The documents are stored on Google Drive TinyURL.com/exampleDP
    14. Digital Portfolios are common in California Here’s a site by Abel Thon, a student at High Tech High Four pages, three projects and an internship tiny.cc/AbelSite
    15. There are two ways to create portfolios TOP DOWN “Train teachers” High Tech High BOTTOM UP “Use Student Advisors” Abel Thon’s Internship →
    16. TOP DOWN “train the teachers” (1) High Tech High in San Diego, Calif., has a culture of using Digital Portfolios (DPs) A typical teacher’s portfolio →
    17. TOP DOWN “train the teachers” (1) The school has a 16-hour course to show students how to make and maintain a free website TinyURL.com/HTHlist (get the PDF)
    18. BOTTOM UP “train student advisors” (1) What if 30 students in a school are trained to make a Free Website? Those “student advisors” can show other students in the school how to make a free website to show their best work.
    19. BOTTOM UP “train student advisors” (2) 30 students can each show 10 other students Those “student advisors” can show other students in the school how to make a free website to show their best work.
    20. The chief advantages of BOTTOM UP “train student advisors” (3) 30 students can each show 10 other students - One training session (five groups of 6 students) - Follow Up by email and phone - Let’s see if 30 early adopters can influence 300 students
    21. The chief advantages of BOTTOM UP “train student advisors” (4) - Let’s see if 30 early adopters can influence 300 students - Students show each other how to use social media… why not ask students to show each other how to make a free website?
