This session introduces students to digital portfolios using tools such as Padlet, Wix, and Google Sites for collecting, organising, and presenting learning, while linking reflections to competencies and standards. Students also engage in reflective blogging or journaling, using simple blog platforms or Word documents to write weekly entries guided by prompts on growth, feedback, and future goals. Additionally, the session covers professional development, including building a digital presence through platforms like LinkedIn or teaching blogs, and participating in webinars and professional networks to enhance career readiness.

In groups, students explore a selected portfolio or blog tool and experiment with its features for reflection and professional documentation.
Students present the results of their tool exploration from the previous activity and respond to questions raised by their peers.
Students will participate in an interactive activity in which they match each tool with its corresponding features listed alongside.
Students watch short videos on effective digital portfolios, reflective blogging, and professional networking strategies.
After watching the videos, students post an example of how they would use digital portfolios or blogs for reflection or professional development in the forum and reply to at least two peers.
Students create their digital portfolio or blog, adding initial content and connecting reflections to relevant competencies and standards. They then share their portfolio/blog links with peers to receive feedback.
Students revise their portfolio or blog based on peer feedback and write a brief reflection explaining the changes they made and the rationale behind them.
