I decided that my e-portfolio will be a place to showcase my work, my beliefs and possibly be used in addition to a resume for my next promotion. In the e-portfolio, you give a person the chance to not only learn about your work and your beliefs but also a chance to meet you, the individual, in how you blog about the issues that are important to you. As we move to a more competitive job market, e-portfolios may be a differentiator that allow me to tell a more complete story than with a resume alone.
Creating my e-portfolio has worked like a digital journal to share my journey in the learning process with others. However, I also have the benefit of reviewing my work at the end of each course, which can be very cathartic, as I reflect on the growth and connections that I've made in my learning.
What sort of promotion are you interested in? I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my life. Your portfolio is inspiring.
