The ePortfolio Showcase

In the Northwest Independent School District, the administration has equipped us with the tool of Google Sites so that we can create an ePortfolio, to get us future ready. These ePortfolios are tedious and complicated to the unprepared student, but we here at Steele AHS pride ourselves in our eportfolio skills. Tomorrow we will be presenting our eportfolios to a collection of parents, principals, and teachers. In this article we will reflect on this process.

Reflecting Through My Portfolio

Hey, guys! I am super excited to finish out this school year with a bang, and the e-portfolios will be a great way to do just that. Prior to this year, I had just about zero experience to be worth putting in an e-portfolio, but now looking back I have grown a lot. After reflecting on my experiences and opportunities over the past few months I am amazed to see how different I am. I have added many Microsoft Office Specialist certifications to my resume along with improved speaking skills (which I needed). Not only that, but I have also worked on some amazing projects and teamed up with awesome students that have changed me forever. Now I am much more social and I am just an overall better worker than I was before. My e-portfolio has given me a chance to see just how powerfully Steele has affected and changed me. With one year coming to a close, I look forward to another three that hold tremendous opportunities. Thanks for listening and bearing with me.

My ePortfolio

As many of you know my ePortfolio went to nationals last year. This year we had "strict" guidelines to follow for ePortfolios. So the first couple of  months I was trying to 'fit-in", but I found that i was not a representation of me and who I am. So I "stuck it to the man" and revamped my old one, adding all of what they wanted into my old one. I feel that now my ePortfolio is better than ever.
