Day 9: Electronic Portfolios
Dr. Barrett points out that the versatility of electronic portfolios is their biggest benefit. Eportfolios allow you to add links to navigate around your collection of artifacts. They also allow you to add more than text and images; audio and video can also be added. As a society, we have moved beyond one-dimensional text and pictures. The compilation of our best teaching practices must also be multi-dimensional, especially since these portfolios frequently serve many purposes – documenting the meeting of standards, showing depth of learning, and highlighting teaching competence.

Our portfolios must demonstrate our understanding in selected ares of our teaching and eleborate on our growth in the reflection piece. I like what Dr. Barrett said about electronic portfolios being a "vehicle to provide a more equitable and sensitive portrait of what students know and are capable to do". The same applys to our teaching. We learn something new every day...look at what has happened to our minds in the past month!
