End of Year Two: Pumped on Portfolios @ Parsons

Whew! It's been a while since I've posted. Year Two of the Parsons-DreamYard Learning Portfolio Project wrapped up in June with a fantastic presentation co-hosted by Hive NYC. After a year of great strides, we wanted to share our best practices with a wider audience. The event, called Pumped for Portfolios, included a hands-on activity to design portfolios for the future, an (edu world) star-studded panel, and then small group discussions on topics related to digital portfolio development (including tools, privacy, and balancing process and product). We were also lucky enough to have some DreamYard Prep High School students in attendance who helped us become more aware of young people's interests and tools of choice.

Below is the video of the panel and a link to Hive NYC's recap of the meeting. More to come on Year Three soon!
