Through the DLL program, I'm becoming increasingly more aware and familiar with E-portfolios. I can honestly say that I wasn't thrilled to put it together at first, blame that on a fixed mindset. However, once I figured out what they actually were, and why they were such a benefit, such as a platform for learning reflection, I really enjoy the assignment.
I had actually made a plain portfolio when I was in a content area reading course during my undergrad, and let me say that doing this digitally is so much nicer, and more professional. Creating an E-portfolio has so many benefits of both learning, and applying knowledge. In the article Making Meaningful Connections, the author spoke of how creating these electronic portfolios, give young people a platform to show their work to potential employers. Especially with the technology age blooming, it's essential that employers can see what an individual can do, whether they're just starting out or they're very accomplished. This is something that high schooler's could really benefit from, and that I plan to integrate into my future classrooms. It's something that is really marketable to my high school students because this is something that will be important in helping them get jobs.
