Barbara LindseyGreat description of how one school district is using Google Apps for lifelong learning and teaching. Terrific embedded video on advantages to migrating over to Google Email for educational institutions. Terrific description of how this school district in Maine is creating a scaffolded portfolio system that gives students increasing responsibility over their portfolio as they move from one grade level to the next, culminating in providing each graduating senior with his/her own domain name to use as their '21st century business card'.

Lee-Anne Patterson"At the recent Maine Google Workshop for Educators I promised to post how my district R.S.U. #19 is using Google Apps for Education (G.A.E.) from a long term managerial perspective. We are using Apps for our student's electronic portfolios as well as expansive communication throughout the district."

Erica Hartman"Naming Conventions
We have students choose an avatar (a nickname) to use for their account. Most students are familiar with the concept of creating an avatar for Club Penguin or Runescape. We have students create an name that will be their online presence until 8th grade (more on that later.) There are a couple of reasons for this. First, I want students to appreciate the importance of selecting a name online that portrays an image that they are comfortable with later on. Invariably I have students who in 5th grade chose something like Fuzzy Bunny and by 7th grade want to change it. The purpose is so they understand when they apply for that job or college interview and the interviewer asks for an email address to reach them they're not using hotgrrl53@yahoo.com or something equally unprofessional.
Here are the rules we use for student avatars.
1) Nothing that relates to or stems from a students real name.
2) No copyrighted names. I want these to be the students, not simply their favorite cartoon character of the day.
3) Not an avatar name they've used elsewhere.
3) No numbers (the reason why below.)
What they can use to create their avatar names:
Colors, animals, foods, nature, sports.
We follow the name selected with a number with district and year of graduation. This makes it easier for us to sort later on by grade level, and assures the student will be able to get the name in 8th Grade." -

We are using Apps for our student's electronic portfolios as well as expansive communication throughout the district. The structure of our district is 5 buildings PreK - 4, two 5 - 8, one PreK - 8 and a 9 - 12 high school. We have under 3,000 students district wide.

This is how schools in Maine are using google apps as portfolios. Something we should look at. We have edublogs campus and apps- both of which could be used for student portfolios with an option for students to take them over as they get older.
