Other
Reflection: After conducting this assignment and using an ePortfolio myself, I feel that they are very useful in education.
EPortfolios can be used for many different things and today are often times a graduation requirement. A portfolio is a collection of
a students work that provides educators with the students progress, efforts, and achievements. I think that this concept is so
great because it is constantly being documented and in all subject areas. As a result, students progress or areas that need to be
worked on are easily accessible. I think it is great for students to be able to see their work in this setting, it gives them confidence
to be able to see their hard work paying off.
