How do you store your pupil’s work? 

With teachers facing mountains of paperwork, traditional student work portfolios are becoming cumbersome and out of date.

The rise of the internet, audio, video and images in school work mean sometimes a paper file can’t even hold the right information. Whilst it’s possible to store work online, most systems haven’t been developed for schools.

This can lead to issues regarding e-safety and protecting young learners using technology.

How can Student Jotter help?

Student Jotter is a new solution for pupils, parents and teachers. It’s a versatile tool that’s used to store learner’s work online. The service creates an e-portfolio, available at any time, in any place, which can be built on throughout a student’s education.

The application also encourages collaboration and discussion through an innovative social network.

The benefits of Student Jotter 

We’ve made Student Jotter fun and easy to use for students. With Jotter, pupils can customise their e-portfolio, expressing their thoughts and interests with text, pictures, audio and video.

Students can use also the service to support each other, becoming more reflective learners. Using peer to peer messaging and comments, pupils can share ideas, leave comments and discuss assignments.

Like a social networking site, Student Jotter has plenty of interaction between users viewing each others e-portfolios. The difference is, we make sure this communication takes place in a safe, controlled environment.

With Student Jotter, schools can take responsibility for e-safety. Teachers can moderate content and monitor conversations. Parents can also access their child’s profile to make sure it’s being used correctly.

The service also benefits teaching and learning. With access to a student’s customised profile and e-portfolio , teachers can use the information to adapt their lessons. Hobbies and interests are just a click away, so it’s easy to personalise learning and create interesting, exciting lessons.

Do I need Student Jotter?

With many schools already using a virtual learning environment, people may question the need for an e-portfolio.

However, Student Jotter doesn’t replace a learning platform, it compliments one.

We think it gives children ownership of their work. With a site just for them, student’s can take their work from school to school and demonstrate their achievements.

Furthermore, they can share their experiences with friends and teachers in an environment that treats e-safety as a priority.
