Tutoring Services can help students bild their DIGITAL PORTFOLIOS by teaching (1) how ot build BIG projects and (2) how to make a free website

A pitch to tutoring services
HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE
“No Grades” Transcript?
I wonder if the future of tutoring is to help students:
(1) build big projects that get academic credit in several subjects and
(2) display those projects on a website (safely and privately).


The website is a vehicle for showcasing the skills of the student.   
The site is called a DIGITAL PORTFOLIO in High Tech High School.


Excellent BIG projects
www.TINYURL.com/SUNNHD from National History Day.


Examples of excellent portfolios for displaying projects
TINYURL.com/ExampleDP  a site built by a student at
High Tech High in California


TINYURL.com/AbelSite  a smaller portfolio, curated by a
student at High Tech High, showing three projects and an
essay with a video of his internship.  This site earned him a
full scholarship… at four colleges.


www.newtechhigh.org/portfolio has links to four portfolios by students.


THE FUTURE OF TUTORING = Introducing parents and teens
to the “no grades” transcript.
  1. Read the article from the Boston Globe to learn about
  2. Scott Looney’s idea:  tinyurl.com/NoGradesBostonCopy
  3. about the "no grades" transcript.
  4. See a 3-minute video about the No Grades transcript  TINYURL.com/noGradesVideo
  5. Someone will need to guide a teen toward the new way that students at 150 private schools are going....  and students at other schools might want to learn how to compete and get a "no grades" transcript to show their skills
PITCH:  Your tutors could used the Free Website Project (it is free) to introduce your
clients to the Portfolio process.  ManyPosters@gmail.com
