As education technology companies are increasingly offering schools digital portfolio options, it is important to know who owns the student work stored on those platforms -- students, the school district or the companies? If your school district or school is considering this option, you might be interested in a blog post from an administrator named George Couros. In the post, Couros explains his decision to use blogs as digital portfolios in order to ensure that students maintain control of their own work. The question of ownership and the use of student work for purposes other than grading is certainly something parents and students need to understand as more and more student work migrates online.
