What is Three Ring?

Three Ring is an online digital portfolio that allows teachers to easily capture student work and share it with parents. It is a multi-platform (Android app, iOS app, and online website) resource that allows teachers to digitize and organize student work that may otherwise fall into the abyss of the backpack. Teachers can snap photos or take video footage of students' work and then organize the artifacts in an online binder. Teachers can organize their account by class and by student. Teachers also have the ability to share work directly with parents and students. What a great way to celebrate outstanding work!

What the founder says about this product:

MICHAEL LINDSAY: Three Ring makes it incredibly easy for teachers to digitize student work. Now, anyone can seamlessly create portfolios for their students, which makes conferences, planning, assessment, and instruction all more effective.

Manage Students

Teachers can link student accounts to teacher accounts in order to share posts. Teachers can also link parent email addresses to specific students so that work can be emailed from within the program. Note: Parent and student accounts, once linked, will only see those artifacts that are relevant to the individual student.
