Pathbrite - e-Portfolios for anyone



If an employer asked for "proof" or "evidence" of accomplishments, what could you show them? For our student this same issue exists. Every year juniors and seniors apply for college admissions. How do they stand-out or demonstrate their learning beyond a school transcript? We all know that abilities and skills can be measure beyond an A or B in class. Even more importantly, we know that an A or B does not really mean that the student has "learned" the information beyond the short term.
Originally designed for the professional in mind, teachers can use in the classroom for FREE too. Pathbrite provides next-generation solutions to mapping out what you've already accomplished and showcase experience with images, PDFs, videos, and more. 
"Go beyond the traditional resume with Pathbrite and tell your story better than ever before. Pathbrite helps you truly stand out by delivering next-generation solutions that you collect, track and showcase a lifetime of achievement, and recommend pathways for continuous success." - Hiles, CEO and Founder of Pathbrite.
What we discovered during our workshop was that through Pathbrite, "users can document, analyze and map individual achievements of all kinds against individuals’ goals and those of their peers – what’s called a Knowledge Graph. Students use Pathbrite and their performance relative to a wider Knowledge Graph to differentiate themselves to get into their preferred schools or land the jobs of their dreams. School admissions officers and employers rely on Pathbrite's Portfolio Platform to get a holistic view of candidates, and to better evaluate their readiness for and organizational fit to the opportunity at hand." 
Image using this in your classroom. Consider the power your students can have with they can showcase and highlight their work. For back to school night or parent teacher conferences, student's work is able to be displayed digital, in their own words, and even track years, growth, and academic improvement. Take scrape-booking to a whole new level.
