While contemplating how we would design and create our ePortfolios, my class came up with some very interesting thoughts and ideas. Since our ePortfolio is our semester test grade and a way to possibly receive some scholarship money, we all put our ideas together to craft an infinite number of possibilities. Some of these possibilities include: Moonfruit, a quick, visual, and easy way to form an excellent website, WordPress, a website designed to help one set up their own, personal blog, and PbWiki, an “online collaboration tool” that many teachers, students, and businesses use to communicate. As you can see, the strategy that I have chosen to use is WordPress to create a new blog designed especially for my ePortfolio. Because our class is the first to perform this project, our ePortfolios will be showcases in and of themselves for the AP English classes—and who knows, every class—to come.
