le blog de bloogue

As most of you may or may not know, I’m enrolled at North Hennepin Community College and taking a course in Web Tools. One of our assignments is to create an ePortfolio and share our experiences about it. The following are questions our instructor asked us to answer on our blog:

• Which E Portfolio did you choose? How easy was it to use?
I chose eFolioMinnesota. It wasn’t as user friendly as I expected but after reading some of the help sections, things became more clear.
• What might you use an online portfolio for? Do you think you could use it professionally or personally?
An ePortfolio can be used both for professional and personal reasons. Perhaps you want to keep your family updated on the birth of a new child or the progress of a hobby of yours. Professionally, you could post your resume or a research paper that you created.
• What do you want your E Portfolio to say about you?
I plan to create a profile that has a professional tone to it. Something that highlights my career and educational history along with my achievements and skill set. While many people use Twitter, Facebook, or their own blog to create a web presence, it’s likely to be a bad idea to share that with potential employers — depending on the content you produce.
