Three Ring

Technology: Three Ring is the newest way to keep a portfolio and it is digital and streamlined. Teachers can start accounts and create their own classes complete with each student listed within the class. Three Ring makes it easy to add students to a class: simply copy your class roster, paste it into the input section of a new class and Three Ring automatically separates and makes a spot for each individual student. Once classes are created, teachers can upload images of student work directly to each student's space. Three Ring even has mobile apps which allow teachers to take pictures form their phone and upload directly without having to go through the computer/actual website. Extra benefit.... students can download Three Ring themselves and upload directly to your account!

Classroom Use: Next year, I plan to pilot using Three Ring with an entire class. I plan to have students download Three Ring on their own devices (unless they do not have their own which is rare) and document and upload their own projects when they finish. I see this as a way to help speed along grading which in turn would bring quicker feedback to my students.
