Final Thoughts on Developing an E-Portfolio

Now I would like to share some final thoughts about my experience developing this E-Portfolio.

Firstly, I would like to note that this is not my first E-Portfolio. In January 2011, my employer had sent a colleague and I to a three day workshop called Introduction to E-Portfolio: Train the Trainer with Workplace Education Manitoba. The goal is that we would teach our clients to create E-Portfolios as part of their career development.

At that time, I was only aware of E-Portfolios created in PowerPoint. As you can imagine, I was excited to embark on that new challenge!

Over a period of three weeks with only three in-class days, we created an Essential Skills based E-Portfolio via Career Portfolio Manitoba.

While that experience seemed tedious at times, I believe that it gave me the foundation to create  'pages'. As a result, it was an easy transition for me to attempt this latest E-Portfolio on Blogger. (Now, it is all the editing that is tedious!).

At this point, I am really proud of myself for creating this current E-Portfolio because it gave me a new way to showcase my career development.

Understanding that career marketing tools (I.e. resumes and portfolios) are living documents, I know that I will continue to adapt this E-Portfolio as I continue to grow in my career.

So, please stay tuned...
