E Portfolio

I am using Live Text to create my portfolio this semester and it has been a very rewarding experience. Live Text seems to be extremely easy, probably because Jessie has done all of the work. The standards and templates are accessible and ready for editing. I know that this can only provide a positive addition to my professional growth. I plan to use the portfolio to take a look at myself in addition to the evidence it may hold for others. I also plan to become familiar with and utilize Google so that I will be able to assist my students in the future to utilize an e portfolio. Since Google is free, it will become the chosen one for my students. I stress the importance of the ability to “sell yourself”, to my students all the time. And of course, one of the ways is through a portfolio that provides evidence of their accomplishments.

Delores,

I totally agree with you and I too, talk with my students all the time about the importance of "selling youself". I also stress the importance of performing quality work which is a good representation of the person in the portfolio. Using the Google site can help assist our students in creating portfolios that can be easily updated and maintained. Who knows in this day and time, it may be the only opportunity to make that "first impressions" a lasting impression for myself as well as my students.
