Students often what to share their badges and portfolios with audiences outside of their school. In this episode, we talk about how students can set up their portfolios for this purpose. Typically, students set up a "tour" - a subset of the work they have collected - for the audience they have in mind. We'll discuss strategies for setting up tours for employers, college admissions or placement, and other audiences.

As students complete their portfolios, how can they show off their accomplishments? In this episode, we discuss strategies for reviewing portfolios, from parent-teacher conferences to special end-of-year review sessions. You'll hear about how students can create "tours" of their best work and how they can demonstrate a school's vision of a graduate.
