Three ring is a newly developed, free app for teachers with plans for administrator accounts that will have additional management and dashboard tools.

Three ring allows the user to take a photo of student work to digitalize it and then upload it to their site. This simple process gets crumpled papers out of the bottom of backpacks, lockers and filing cabinets and into preset folders for easy access, assessment, storage and for the purposes of this training, for creating digital portfolios with your students. No more scanning hand written work, dittos or artwork. Just click, upload, file and share. This gives you more time for teaching and students more time for learning.

An important part of the digital portfolio process is self-reflection and peer-to-peer critiquing. Three ring's note feature allows users to reflect on their own work, give feedback to classmates, offer suggestions and work in collaborative partnerships or groups.

Three ring is a valuable tool for teachers to collaborate on teaching strategies for shared students, to use during professional development workshops and parent teacher conferences. Three ring is ideal for special education teachers and other support staff to share student progress at IEP meetings.

One of the best features of three ring is the flexibility which allows the user to determine how they want to organize student work. Users are able to add students and organize them by class or period, add tags to specify content, standards or something classroom, period or subject specific. For example, 4th grade literacy benchmark assessments or period 5 poetry drafts.

Open the ThreeRing app on the iPad provided, iPhone or other Smartphone and create an account for yourself. You will need to add an email address, choose a password, find your school and go through a 5-minute set up process.
