About Me portfolio and My Files

userEducator Xello productXello K-2 Time2 minutes

K-2 students are encouraged to record what they learn in their About Me portfolios. The portfolio is a tool for reflection and planning which is carried with students throughout their Xello K-12 experience. Early portfolio development helps students acquire the skills and habits to identify their strengths, interests, and capabilities, and relate them to their opportunities now and in the future.

Students start documenting their insights through a series of personal profile questions.

How it works

After the introduction to the Dpad during their first visit to the Detective Academy, students can visit the Dpad at any time from the Career Town map.

  1. Click on the Dpad icon and select the About Me app to access the My Profile and My Files apps.
  2. Here, students can answer new profile questions as they become unlocked, review and update their answers to previous questions, and upload meaningful learning artifacts.
