 Welcome to Get Organized with Folders. Digital portfolios support students to reflect on and celebrate their learning, which leads to greater learning gains over time. Digital portfolios are most effective when they're easy for students and teachers to navigate. That's where CESA folders come in. In this training, you will create folders, tag folders to posts and activities, sort by folder, and see what students can do. First, create and manage folders in class settings. That's the wrench icon in the top right. In the folders section, click manage folders. Then create a folder. Type a name for the folder. You might create folders for different subjects, small groups, times of year, or another system of your own. Choose a color and click the green check. You have your first folder. Create more folders by clicking create a folder at the bottom of the pop-up box and repeating the steps. To adjust the order your folders are listed, use numbers in your folder names, or copy and paste emojis to support emerging readers. If you ever need to edit or delete a folder, click on it. Edit the name or color, or click remove folder from class to delete it. Deleting folders does not delete student posts, just the folder itself. Pause the video now and create your first folder. In your classroom and on CSaw, folders are only helpful if you use them. Tag a folder to any post in the journal by clicking the folder icon on the bottom of the post. It looks like this. Select a folder or create a new one. You know a post is tagged to a folder because you see the folder name on the bottom of the post. Edit tagged folders by clicking the folder icon again. Tagging posts one by one is time consuming. Save time by tagging folders to activities. When students respond to the activity, all responses will be tagged to that folder automatically. Click assign, then click edit students folder skills. In the folders tab, select a folder. When you assign the activity, you see tagged folders on the bottom of the activity. Forgot to tag a folder before you assigned? That's okay, just click the three dots on the assigned activity, then edit folders. Pause the video now and tag a folder to a post or an activity. Now that posts and activities are tagged to folders, here's how to sort the journal by folder. Sorting by folder helps you and students navigate the journal and activity tabs more easily. Click class journal or a student's name. A folder icon will appear to the right. Click it, choose a folder. You'll see all the posts tagged to that folder. You can also sort posts by folder when approving work. When you click review, click on the same folder icon on the right of your screen and select a folder. You'll see all pending posts tagged to that folder. You can even sort by folder in the activities tab. In any section of the activities tab, such as the assigned to class section, click the folder icon. Select a folder. You see all assigned activities tagged to the folder. Pause the video now and practice sorting the journal and activities tab by folder. Students can also use folders to stay organized. Students can view their posts by folder by clicking on the folder icon and selecting a folder. They see their posts tagged to that folder. Students can also sort activities by folder. In the activities tab, students click on any section, like the to do section. Then click the folder icon. Students select a folder and they see all assigned activities tagged to that folder. This makes it easier for students to find assigned activities for different subjects or projects. Students can tag folders to their posts. All you need to do is adjust a few settings in class settings. You can enable students to tag folders when they create a post. In class settings, click show add to folder step and select students and teachers. When students create a post and click the green check, they will see this page. Students select a folder and click the green check mark to post it to their journal. For students to tag folders after they post, enable item editing in class settings. Students can click the folder icon on the bottom of a post and choose a folder. Using and teaching students how to use the CESA folders helps them easily navigate their CESA portfolio, which leads to more reflection, celebration of learning and growth. Pause the video now and adjust class settings to enable students to tag folders. You did it. You learned how to create and manage folders, tag folders and how you and your students can view posts and activities by folder. Thanks for learning with us today.
