Online resources are a great tool for students and teachers to use to share and comment on each other's work. I have personally found success in using Seesaw, Google Classroom, Artsonia, and flickr; all of which allow students to quickly upload a picture of their completed artwork. Students may use these online tools to reflect on their artwork and see the artwork of others in a portfolio setting.

Voicethread is yet another online tool for communication between students and the teacher. I have used Voicethread so my students could upload their completed work and then use a voice recorder provided on the website talk about their work. Others, like the teacher and classmates, are able to comment on the work to give feedback. This is a great tool for students to show their learning. Parents are also able to log on to Voicethread to view their students work and recording.

Displaying student's artwork is incredibly important because it gives students pride in their hard work. Artwork is meant to be shared, and displaying it gives students a more purposeful experience. Students, families, and staff are able to view the art and see their ability. I have shown student artwork in public and school libraries, hallway display cases, public malls, and downtown businesses.
