Abstract | This paper considers the benefits of using an electronic portfolio as opposed to the more traditional type for the professional resume and treats the use of the electronic portfolio as a means of assessment of student, student teacher, and teacher performance, and as a marketing tool in job searches. The ease of distribution, storage and use, and the ability of the reader to select areas of interest from a menu is a strong reason for utilizing this approach. The capacity of hearing a statement of support rather than reading a letter of recommendation; seeing the person in a teaching situation, rather than reading the information; having a map show areas where experience was obtained, rather than seeing a list of states; and seeing examples of creative talents, rather than reading about them are all reasons for the use of this technology. The preparation time of the electronic portfolio exceeds the traditional resume. For the person having to serve on a search committee or the interviewer, the electronic approach is much easier and creates a more positive impression. Information is also provided on the hardware and software tools that are used. (AEF) |
