Creating an Eportfolio... 

When I first was to begin on this assignment, I had no idea what an eportfolio was. I know what a portfolio is and actually had one in Cosmetology school and have one accompanying my resume for my career in the counseling field. However, an eportfolio is different in the way that it is displayed online. Eportfolios are used mainly by teachers, but by students also. Eportfolios are "dynamic, developmental spaces representing your professional self on the web...They are becoming standard practice for academics, students, and professionals and typically include examples of skills and achievements, as well as a reflective blog element."

Blogs, I understand. I love to write, so I believe that in this class and in the future as the teacher of a classroom, I will implement blogging into my daily or weekly routine. I believe it can be a main aspect of an Eportfolio as well, benefiting the students greatly.
