As I searched for exemplar ePortfolios to add to my collection, I began to see how ePortfolios could be used by my students to chronicle and reflect upon their learning over the course of their 8th grade year. I've come to realize that I'm not interested in ePortfolios that are a version of a resume. I see my future students' ePortfolios more like journals or scrapbooks.
For this reason, I appreciated the High School Student's ePortfolio (https://prezi.com/wwtigpgosxii/my-art-eportfolio/) on Laverne's page. It seems like an excellent example of a melding of words and images to get a picture of a person's thinking and products. I also liked Cassie's ePortfolio (https://cassiestephens.blogspot.com/search/label/diy) on Sam's page. This one has a different, fresh look unlike the other, more standard ePortfolio sites. I can see some of my students who enjoy the scrapbooking aspect of Visual Journals really becoming inspired by this page. Finally, I liked the art teacher ePortfolio (http://mrsjacksonartbd.weebly.com/art-room-blog) on Stephanie's page. I really appreciated the clean look of the students' art on the black background. It was clean and the art popped. This makes sense to me, since I believe the ePortfolios should be about showcasing the work of students.
