This is awesome. I wish I had known about this when I was in Culinary School. So many times going out looking for jobs you take this big bulky portfolio of your work, some employers may even ask you to leave them so they can look through them. When you do this you take the risk of getting them back. This tool would have been so much better to send out to any of the employers to look through, that way you could send to . Better late than never so now I am going to take this tool and run with it. I plan to keep it updated with more and more artifacts. This is one tool that I am planning to use for Industry Certification this year to showcase my students work along with my contributions as a teacher. Also out seniors have t do portfolios so I am sharing this information with other teachers to do this format with our seniors. The students love the computer so I think they would really do well using this format, I am also looking to add this to my curiculum for my culinary students to showcase there work, especially the ones looking to attend culinary school. Its very user friendly and I think the students will realy enjoy using this format.
Eportfolio connects to us to so many to other things in regard to the web. This tool will be very beneficial if you are looking to change jobs/schools to showcase your abilities as an educator. I am very excited about working with this program and looking forward to working with it much more.
I totally agree. I wish I knew about this a long time ago. I have been trying to make up my own sort of "e-portfolio". I actually made more than one, but labeled them for each of my classes. I also made one for Emergency Lesson Plans and gave the link to my administrator. I think the site is an easy way to keep focused on lesson plans and the state standards. I think it also makes us look extra organized and more professional. My boss was impressed!
