This week we started working on our e-portfolio.
About 5, maybe 7 years ago I created a digital portfolio. My principal at the time was very much into differentiated instruction and assessment, including for her teachers. We were required to create a portfolio, not just a resume. Being the computer teacher, I chose to do mine electronically. I was pleased with the outcome then, and now I find myself doing it again. I didn't really realize it was the same thing (my brain was going along the lines of a course summary, not a resume) until I saw one of my fellow students really create a resume-type portfolio. It included all the elements required for our end-of-course project, but it also had so much more. I was impressed. Very impressed. So much so that I plan to get mine as close to that level as I can. It will take some time and some tweaking... especially my resume, which has an old format.
As for this portfolio, I think it really does showcase what I've been learning. I've thoroughly enjoyed the class, and have enjoyed working through each module even when it was frustrating. I plan on completing the certificate program, so more will be added to my little portfolio and a lot will be added to my brain.
