I like this tool, I have seen teachers in my school use a program similar to this one, but for some reason I can't remember the program. These can be fun for the students to use because it is something different than the normal PowerPoint that they complete for assignments.
This tool allows you to create an online portfolio that your students can take pictures of their work and add it to their portfolio, which you can access for free online.
Thanks for sharing this Nick. I'm really considering how to implement online portfolios in my classroom next year and this looks like a wonderful site!
Nick, seems like a great tool that teachers could utilize easily. I tried to explore a bit to find information about cost and storage etc. and could not find anything. Do you know more about this?
Thank you for sharing. Portfolios have always been a great asset for our classes but online are getting even more relevance now as most departments are making them a priority for many languages and disciplines
Sabine,
With regards to cost, it is free. I am unsure about how much storage that they give you to use on the site. That was something that was not talked about at the conference where I discovered the tool.

This website, in English, is a great place to find the names of currently popular French musicians and songs. Some videos are embedded. Teachers could select songs to exploit in class, or they could direct students there to discover new music.
