Create+a+StudentPortfolio

You can create student portfolios with **Explain Everything**, so that each slide within a student's portfolio showcases a different accomplishment (e.g., math strategy, passage reading, insect diagram, etc.), or you can show progress throughout the year in one specific area such as reading fluency or writing. A slide can be as simple as a snapshot of a student's work accompanied by a brief recording. In Explain Everything, the portfolio is referred to as a "Project." Each artifact you want to archive in the portfolio is referred to as a "Slide."

1. Make sure you are on the **Home Screen** (see picture below). This is where all the projects are displayed. To get to the Home screen, click on the Home Screen icon (see Quick Guide below).
