Nguyen’s Framework and My ePortfolio

Posted on by akarriker

RESPONSE

What did you learn through the process of creating the ePortfolio that you did not know before?

When I first started my ePortfolio in Fall of 2016 I didn’t know at all what to expect from it. I thought of it as some way to have a place to upload our information from class. I thought it was similar to Google drives. Then I got more comfortable with it and played around with it a lot. I got to know the system. Through this learning process I found out how to edit pages, make a post, separate a Menu from other Pages, make a home page. I never thought I would know how to do these types of things. But after time, and getting familiar with it, I realized that it is way more that just a Google Drive.

How do you view your past differently after creating an ePortfolio?

After creating the ePortfolio I can see my past work from when I made my first post. With this Class I have implemented more of the functions that the ePortfolio has to offer, for an example this reply section, I never would have through that I could use one of these on this platform. With this platform I can go back and see my past work a lot easier than I could on another system. I fell like by having this it is a nice, clean way to have my work laid out.

Comparing the portfolio to google drive to me now sounds like a far-fetched comparison, but like you, when I first started using this platform I had nothing else to really compare it to besides drive! Seeing past work from this class as well as other classes is always so interesting to me. For example, when I look back at my freshman year English course and see a response that I made about how social media is impacting our minds, I feel as though I would respond very differently now! Do you feel this way as well?

Yeah! without a doubt! I remember reading about Discourse, and Gee and I think to myself wow I could really use this information again. I am so thankful that I have it on here. If it were to be on Google drive or something like that I am sure I wouldn’t spend time trying to find it. But on here, when I know where everything is, It is so simple!
