Creating posts in class portfolio is a powerful means to document your learning journey, drawing evidence from daily classroom activities throughout the year. Moreover, these posts can be easily shared with your peers, enabling seamless collaboration and sharing of ideas.

As a student, you can effortlessly create portfolio posts right from your Toddle classroom.

This article will cover:

From the home page of your Toddle Educator App, navigate to the preferred class and tap on the ‘Portfolio’ section in the bottom pane. On the landing page, you can scroll through your class portfolio feed and get a comprehensive view of all the posts where you have been tagged.

You can create a portfolio post on Toddle in just a few easy steps.

Step 1: Start by clicking the red ‘plus’ button in the top right corner of the page.

Toddle provides a wide range of options for creating a portfolio post, including images, audio, video, files, workbook, collages, links and notes. Depending on the type of post you choose, you can directly capture or record the content or upload it from your device, OneDrive, or Google Drive.

💡Please note that the options you see here may vary depending on the post types selected by your school administrators.

💡 While adding files via Google Drive, you can choose to add them as a link or file. If you share them as a link, make sure that the linked file has appropriate access. In case you are sharing them as a file, any changes made to the file after posting in the portfolio will not reflect in the attached file.

Step 2: Once you have uploaded the media, perform the following actions:

You have the option to provide written and/or audio remarks or descriptions for your post.

Use the pencil icon to tag your fellow classmates to the post. Please note that you can only tag students from your own class in the post.

To tag learning goals, you have three options:

For example, if you want to explore all the available learning goals in your curriculum, selecting the ‘All learning goals’ option will show you a comprehensive display of all the learning goals on one screen. From here, you can easily navigate through each learning goal, make individual selections, or choose all of the goals. Additionally, you can use keywords to search and refine your selection.

💡You will be able to tag learning goals, your peers and folders in your portfolio posts only when the corresponding settings are enabled by your school administrator/coordinator.

Click on the plus icon next to 'Tag folders' and choose the folder(s) to add the post to.

Step 3: After you have finished creating your post, you have the option to publish it or send it for your teacher’s approval by clicking on the ‘Send for approval’ button.

💡 Teacher’s approval for publishing a portfolio post is required only when this setting is enabled by your school administrator/coordinator.

If approval is necessary, any posts awaiting the teacher's approval will be highlighted with a colour-coded banner at the top, as shown below. You will have the ability to edit or delete the post while it is pending approval. The yellow banner will automatically disappear once your teacher approves the post.

Once the teacher has approved the post, your post will start appearing in the class portfolio feed and all students tagged to it will be able to view, like and comment on it.

If your teacher returns the post, you will receive a notification and the post will be highlighted with a color-coded banner at the top. Additionally, any comments from your teacher will be included. To make revisions, you can use the three-dot menu and then resubmit the post for approval.

💡You will be able to edit your published posts only when the corresponding settings are enabled by your school administrator/coordinator.

Within the 'Portfolio' tab of your class, you can view all the published posts where you have been tagged. If you are looking for specific published posts, you can utilize the 'Filter by folder' feature by clicking on the funnel icon at the top. From there, you can select the desired folder to browse all the posts tagged within it. Similarly, you can explore the portfolio posts of other students by clicking on their name under 'Filter by student'.

💡Please note that the ability to view other students' posts is subject to the settings enabled by your school administrator/coordinator.
