Student-Led Conferences using Digital Devices

I have personally witnessed student-led conferences in my practicum and internship experiences while attending Jacksonville State University.  I was at Lincoln Elementary School for my very first placement in the program as well as my internship semester.  They provided wonderful examples of how to implement student-led conferences and also the different ways for the students to display and showcase their work.  One of the best resources that I have used personally and seen used is the SeeSaw app.  I would use this app in my classroom as a digital portfolio for my students, but also as a form of accountability.  The students can "post" a picture of their work and it can be seen be the teacher, parents, and other students.  It is a safe and secure way for students to share their work and progress.  As the teacher you can also manage which projects and work samples are seen by everyone or if it's just shared between yourself and the student.  I had the opportunity to attend a student-led conferences where the students were able to explain and show their parents their work.  It was during the spring semester and because of the students using digital devices it was easy and accessible to filter through all the work they had completed throughout the whole year.  I would love to use this in my future classroom so that the students would be able to take ownership of their own work.  I love student-led conferences because it is not the teacher and the parents talking about the student and what they know, it's the student showing and expressing what they know and learned to their parents.
