Teachers, how are we instructing and assessing our students today?

How can our instruction become more relevant to their learning?

Collaborate4Teachers is a wiki for introducing you to

PBWorks and VoiceThread, classroom collaboration tools.

Together these Web 2.0 Tools can be used for creating your online student portfolios. As long as your students have the site address, login and password, they will have permanent access to their portfolios.

What is a wiki?

Dr. Helen Barrett is a leading proponent of student e-portfolios.
