Great Questions

Can I tell the student’s real name from the user name?

Can I view student LinguaFolios?

What if students over-estimate or under-estimate their ability?

Can I print out LinguaFolios?

Can we document student progress over time?

What if students don’t enter evidence?

Why should the students care?

Isn’t this an invasion of privacy?
