Seesaw

Seesaw    an app for building a digital portfolio

  I saw this on Free Tech for Teachers   and thought it might be  great  for  building a portfolio of language acquisition  in modern languages.   It might also be useful  in group projects, allowing each group member to discuss what they learned.
