Yesterday I posted about how I was presenting my teaching portfolio in class today as part of a "portfolio fair" in my Science Methods class. In addition to presenting it to my peers, I also posted it to my Facebook and Twitter accounts as well to try and get more feedback.
As promised, here are some of the comments & suggestions that I got:
1 ) Good use of pictures
- People liked that I had photos in addition to text so they could really visualize
what I was trying to get across
2 ) Play up the fact that it is electronic
- What does it offer that couldn't be offered through a traditional hard-copy
portfolio?
- I think I am going to add a video or audio clip introducing myself instead of
just having the paragraph that I have now
3 ) Well organized and easy to read
- This was one of the things that I liked about using Weebly to create my
portfolio, it is easy to use and requires no personal HTML formatting
4 ) Double up information
- I had difficulty re-posting information more than once in my portfolio (for
example, if I had something listed under employment on my resume, I might
have not had it listed under "teaching experience" which was a different
heading)
- My prof pointed out that there is no gaurantee that someone will look at
EVERY page, so make sure they don't miss any information that they might
be looking for
5 ) Good highlight of volunteer background
- I hope that this will show that I am willing to be involved in other aspects of
the school instead of just my own classroom
These were just a few of the comments that I received and once I re-do my portfolio again I will re-post it and share again :) Thank you to everyone who took the time to go through it and share their thoughts :)
