The e-portfolio is very useful for keeping records and presenting my professional career, especially teaching. It is easy to come back and modify and introduce changes and improvements as they occur. As a bonus, the e-portfolio is an excellent way to advertise the program I teach so that others will have an opportunity to view and evaluate when making education and career decisions. There are a lot of excellent and unparalleled benefits for using this option.
The students in reviewing will also be learning how to keep a record of their achievements and how to display their accomplishments for others to see. This will help to better prepare them for this electronic age we are living in. Also by maintaining the e-portfolio it could become an important site for the students that have completed the program and wish to reflect on their accomplishments while pursuing a career as well as provide a link for a reference. This provides a challenge helping to raise the bar for me and providing the opportunity to reflect and view those areas where improvement is needed in order to better benefit my students. There are a lot of great benefits to the e-Portfolio, Thank you NTI.

The advertising aspectis a real benefit. I created a web site to meet requirements set by NATEF. The portfolio would also meet this requirement I believe, though not stated. This could be modified to include homework as well as future assignments. I am considering incorporating the portfolio into my website. I am also getting ready to start my car/truck club as we have enough students driving now, or will be soon. This could also be put into the website.
