Electronic Portfolios
Electronic Portfolios (ePortfolios) offer many advantages for today's education institutions and for individual career planning. While still in school, having a well designed portfolio can show skills, reflection, and learning outcomes. In the market place an excellent portfolio can serve as a leg-up on competitors. I work with individuals, high schools and colleges to help them develop techniques to implement various types of portfolios. My specialties are the student reflective portfolio, which is an excellent source for teachers and parents wishing to view and assess student learning outcomes, and the career portfolio, which can be used by college students entering the competitive job market or job searchers hoping to obtain advancement.
