Maam saira,you can do it by taking pics and making videos when the child is engaged in sth creative then ask the child what he thinks about it and write it in his portfolio n save the pictures and remarks of each child in a folder in your computer.when ever you get thime after school make a photo story of each child using photostory software,this is what is shared in the article and i use to practice it regularly and had learnt it from maam shazia in my e-foundation course a few years back.
