THINK
I would write a resume perhaps, including certificates for certain tests(TOEIC, Kanken), sport tournaments, attach a letter of recommendation by professors or teachers to show strong points of myself which cannot be tested. Another important thing would by my ID showing which division I belong to or what I are majoring in, because it may show what kind of knowledge I have.

1. I think e-portfolio is a convenient way to express myself, but I do not need it yet, because I do not have the chance to show who I am and what I can do. However, in order to have a well-developed e-portfolio when I need it, I should start working on it, especially if I want to use it as a way to keep track of things.
2.lists of...
*works I have experienced
*places I have been to, and things I have seen there (e.g. museums, historical sites)
*lectures I have been to
*translating experiences I have had
*Wadaiko performances I have experienced, along with photos
*websites showing my interests

Advantages
Unlike paper resumes you would traditionally turn in when you apply for a job, you can write what YOU want on your e-portfolio. You can also arrange your e-portfolio to keep your information neat, still having lots of information.
Disadvantages
E-portfolios are not very common(at least in Japan) yet, so we do not have much chances to use them yet, and your reader needs to be in an Internet-capable environment to read. Paper is said to leave more information in the brain when reading, than electronic screens do. So in this term, e-portfolios would do better printed out, which would be a disadvantage in a way.
4. In order to use my e-portfolio, the only skills you need are, the ability to use the Internet, English, and simply to type and save. My e-portfolio shows not just basic information about me, but also possibilities I have. It shows my job experience, English skills, translating experiences(volunteer and work), lists of lectures I've been to, and more. This enables people who want someone to translate for them, or people who are interested in science like I am, to look for me.
Through making my e-portfolio, I have learned more about how people give out information digitally. Therefore, I can be an active and enthusiastic learner, not just take in in information but also give out, and also an even stronger learner because I can now also use e-portfolios to connect with people more effectively.
Nagisa, thank you for your thoughtful post. I would like to encourage you to learn to integrate your e-portfolio as part of your normal workflow. For example, you can email content to your e-portfolio and (I think you already use Google Docs) publish content with one click from Google Docs, including spreadsheets and presentations. Having an e-portfolio that is a kind of a personal 'digital footprint' is an easy way to maintain an archived collection of your work - I would like to encourage to see everything you do as important. Grade: B.
返信削除Sorry Nagisa, I think that the main improvements you could make in your answers would be based on work to develop the content of your e-portfolio more. More development would have let you write more in your answers about the affordances of what you actually did. Owen.
