A digital portfolio can show a potential employer a number of things that a paper portfolio or resume cannot portray. Whether it provides an employer a detailed look into a candidate for hire or gives parents and teachers some valuable insight on the student’s college education to be able to discuss and help them in making decisions in their college experience. Also on the education note, teacher portfolios are being used prominently in colleges and universities. E Portfolios are used by professionals and employers to gauge whether a person is eligible for hire. The lower end of the portfolio spectrum would, in my opinion, be Facebook or Twitter, where people develop a more personal portfolio and can show their own story.

A student portfolio is a purposeful collection of the work that tells the story of a student's personal self and achievements. The student’s portfolio is there to demonstrate the learning experiences of the student. It is available to parents and teachers who are able to evaluate and share the student’s experience and performance, not just see the gra...

  • Perfection In Two Questions, By Lynda Collins

    1318 Words  | 3 Pages

    Although a personal statement is supposed to be mine, in the back of my head, I was thinking that an admission officer would look at this sheet of paper I had written and base my admission on it. Then I felt that although this was supposed to be my story, it was not really what I wanted to say because the purpose was to please someone else. At a certain point, all creativity was gone and my only goal was to have a perfect personal statement. The need to have a perfect personal statement did not allow me to write an essay that was truly me. I already had my mind set that I was going to write what I thought the reader wanted to hear instead of what I truly wanted. I decided, however, that although the two questions of “Is it good?” and “Does this suck?” Barry presents would haunt me for the rest of my life, if my personal statement was not truly me, then I was getting into schools for the wrong reasons. It was surprising how, for so long, I struggled writing this life-altering essay and when I just let it go, and started writing without worrying about perfectionism, I “…was both there and not there… and the lines made a picture and the picture made a story” (124). I was able to write an essay that mattered to me as opposed to something that was a misguided version of myself.

    Summary reports are a way of replacing report cards as a way of showing parents and administrators the progress students have made. The purpose of summary reports is to really compile and breakdown both the portfolio and the checklists. The summary reports really give the parents an easily understandable version of what they are looking at in their child’s work sampling file. These reports are done at least three times a year. The reports normally include a narrative and rating scales.

It is also important for a person to figure out their digital footprint because they could make it out to be better for the future. Locating it first is the most important part.

  • Portfolio Assessment

    2597 Words  | 6 Pages

    There are a number of definitions in the literature to describe the strategy of portfolio assessment. Brady and Kennedy (2009) describe portfolio assessment as a collection of work samples or products collected over time to demonstrate student progress in learning and achievement of outcomes. This is the most succinct and ideal definition as the idea of assessment is to not only assess the final products of learning but to also assess the process a student takes to achieve that final product. Portfolios in general provide evidence of a how a student thinks, questions, analyses, synthesises, produces and creates (Borich & Tombari, 2004). Grace (2002) emphasises that they keep track of a student’s success rather than their failures. This naturally allows you to determine what their learning n...

I was able to add in key words which increase the chance of my resume to be selected via the key word search/electronic system. I was able to add in some additional information pertaining to experience, history, and accomplishments, as these sections can be the most important section on your resume (CSU- Global, 2017).

  • Employers Should Use Social Network Profiles in the Hiring Process

    794 Words  | 2 Pages

    Social network profiles are the most essential tool to judge job applicants because it reflects a good image of the job applicants. For example, if the company is recruiting a writer, it would be better to choose a person who has a blog web page in a blogging website such as Word-Press that shows and reflects his/her ability in writing. In addition to that, a Human Resources manager can check this person’s Facebook and Twitter in order to see his/her grammar and writing skills. This information provides accurate and complete picture about the candidate. (Fish & Lee, n.d). Moreover, social network profiles can prove the application as it shows applicant’s participation in many fields. For instance, when a recruiter enters person’s blog that includes art and design work, it will show his/her passion to work as a designer in the company. Therefore, it is important to judge applicants based on their social media profiles because it shows a good image of the person.
