- How will your e-Portfolio demonstrate your interdisciplinarity?
- What is the audience / purpose you're thinking of using?
- How would you envision your e-Portfolio looking like? What would you like to stand out?
- What things are you thinking could be used as evidence?
I wanted my e-portfolio to relect not only what I did at UCF but who I am as a person and my life outside of eduction as well. I feel by not only showing all the different classes you took the best way to demenstrate interdisplinary is to tie in your personality and everyday life expereinces. Each e-potfolio has a purpose or a audience and everyone's is different depending on what they want to use it for. Personally, I would like my family and frineds to view my e-portfolio to see what I did over the last 4 years and how I grew. Overall, this is a great major and the E-portfolio is just another unqiue thing this major has to offer!
The end of the semester is close and things are winding down. How do you feel when it comes to the eportfolio and how it reflects you?

ReplyDeleteThe e-portafolio that i made so far definitely reflects my work ethic however it also reflects a bit about my personal life. I think it is important to put in your portafolio some of your personal events, becuase it just shows more of whole person and maybe even more approachable. This e-portafolio, has bit of pieces of me, of every aspect, my social, my personality, my work ethic, and a history of my past accomplishments. I figured that my audience would like to see all of that and make me more marketable, this has been something that shows how i am as a person but ultimately to portray me in higher level.

I think the e-portfolio will be a great tool to enhance what I already have in the traditional sense of job prospecting with a typical resume. I think the idea and concept of creating an electronic manual about my self and my hirable attributes will be the standard asked by hiring managers. Also, like a current resume you can also add your achievements and remove weaker achievements you may have listed throughout your working career. This has been a very fulfilling experience and I look forward to the next phase in Capstone next semester.- Ryan Burris
ReplyDeleteI believe my e-Portfolio will strengthen my chances of getting into the P.A. school of my choice. It will allow the admissions officer to get to know me on a more personal level and to see all of my struggles and accomplishments together in one place. I believe my e-Portfolio reflects my goals, attributes, and where I stand as a future P.A. at this point in my life.I really enjoyed creating my e-Portfolio so far, and I hope to use it in the future to benefit my career and to learn from my mistakes.

The e-portfolio that I am creating is able to represent my work ethic and it discusses me and my personal life such as why I chose the path I chose and what is the force that drives me to succeed. I think the idea of creating an electronic portfolio about ones personal value of success is important for employer assessment when considering of hiring that person to their staff. This e-portfolio as been molded to my personal accomplishments and goals, from this I hope that the audience is able to see the reflection of my value of success and are impressed with it.

My E-Portfolio demonstrates my Interdisciplinarity because it showcases all the classes I’ve taken in two areas of concentration, and my minor. I have focus areas in Life/Biomedical Sciences and Health, and a minor is Psych, which all help to create a sense of Interdisciplinarity in my E-Portfolio. The main audience I’m pursing right now is grad school representatives, since that is my main goal after I graduate from UCF. I want my E-Portfolio to be super awesome, professional, and fun, all at the same time. I want my experiences to stand out, because my experiences defined who I am today. I have lots of things to use as evidence, I just need to hunt them down. I have stuff from school, stuff from the fire department that I volunteered at, etc, and it’s stuff that I can really use as evidence.

My e-portfolio will demonstrate my interdisciplinarity by existing as a collection of my journey to interdisciplinary a display of the things I have learned along the way. I would like my e-portfolio to reflect my personal-self as well as my professional-self. I feel like dispersing relevant personal stories throughout the portfolio, in addition to a personal statement, will add that sense of personal-self to my portfolio. Also, by adding a personalized layout, background and organization to the e-portfolio, I can reveal some of my personal self to my intended audiences. Including my resume and transcript will offer insight into my professional-self.
ReplyDeleteI have two intended purposes for my e-portfolio. One of my intended audience is the Teach For America application review committee with the purpose of getting accepted into the Teach for America program, so I can help educate in underprivileged areas. The second of my intended audiences is the medical school admissions committee with the purpose of gaining admittance into medical school, so I can study and practice to become a physician.
I envision my e-portfolio looking like an online, interactive resume/portfolio about me, my past education, my experiences, and my ambitions. I would like my goals/future plans to stand out the most in this portfolio.
I am excited to see how my e-portfolio comes together as a complete project so that I can show it to some friends and family to review.
@Jessica
ReplyDeleteI like how you said you want your e-portfolio to be super-fun because that adds a real sense of character. How do you think you are going to transcribe that enthusiasm to your e-portfolio? More of a backround/layout design thing or by the addition of personal statements/stories?
@Ryan
I agree, I like the idea of incorporating the traditional items of job prospecting (cover letter and resume) with personal-self revealing items (personal statements/stories and individualized layout)into a single, coherent e-portfolio. You make a good point about the ease of technology and electronics allowing us to continually edit and change our porffolio very simply.
@ Jessica
ReplyDeleteI agree with Erin about how you want your e-portafolio to be fun, because i do think that it will portray some of your character. And im sure that employers will appreciate it.
@Jamin
I like how you said that your e-portafolio will show your drive and personality, because mine too will reflect such attributes, and it will for sure stand out against others employees who are trying to get the same job.

My e-Portfolio is an excellent showcase of my interdisciplinarity. I never realized how much potential I had, until I began working on it. I plan on showing it in my future endeavors enroute to medical school. I'd also like to share it with my family, as they still have a stigma with the term IDS. I don't really have much evidence, as I am not the scrapbooking type. However, I should be able to find some pictures lying around, or jus get creative. overall this e-Portfolio is a great reflection of my mentality, evolution thus far, and future direction.
ReplyDelete~Andrea Graves
@Ben I agree with the personality part. Thats one of my favorite aspects of the portfolio
@Ryan You'reight, it is like an extension of your resume.
@ Ben and Erin,
ReplyDeleteI'm going to portray a sense of fun through the layout, and through the content in it. I want it to be professional, but it doesn't need to be uptight. I can use a little humor to portray everything that I've done, and it'll give a reflection of myself as well!
:)
Jessica
@Ryan,
ReplyDeleteThe E-Portfolio really is a nice addition and enhancement to a typical resume. I imagine I'll use both in my future endeavors, but I think that they'll compliment each other well.
I too am looking forward to Capstone next semester!!! I finally got the permission and override and am ready to go!! It's exciting isn't it? We're almost done!
Jessica
The e-portfolio will enable me to showcase my personal abilities and educational background. This will allow future employers as well as graduate and law school interviewers a better understanding of who I am. I actually have trouble envisioning the portfolio as a finished project. I would greatly enjoy seeing someone who actually uses their e-portfolio and discussing it’s use. Do they burn it to a disc and pass it out during interviews, or email as an attachment to their application or resume? Also what are the reactions they receive from the audience, surprise, boredom or are they impressed? I would hope my finished project would appear artistic, articulate, well developed, thought out, intelligent and hard working. The audience would find the portfolio helpful in the interview process, unique and impressive.
ReplyDelete@ Jarna.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of your friends and family viewing your portfolio to gain a better understanding of your education and experience over the last few years in college.

Ryan,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you in the sense of using the portfolio to enhance your traditional resume. But I have questions of how and when the portfolio will be used. How are you planning on future employers viewing your portfolio? When will they view the portfolio during the interview or with the application?
-Shannon Brown
My purpose and audience for my eportfolio is getting accepted into medical school and the medical school advisory board. I have show cased my interdisciplinarity by not only referencing my degree but explaining what it means, why I chose that path, and how it has helped better prepare me for medical school and my future practice. I hope my eportfolio will be professional, accessible and most importantly give the reader a comprehensive view of who I am. I think the different sections that we have been compiling all year will be of great help in this endeavor. After reading my eportfolio I hope what stands out the most to the medical school advisory board is my passion for caring and commitment to bettering my community. Those two reasons are why I was inspired to pursue medicine and I have talked about and evidenced this in my resume, personal statement, and professional statement.
ReplyDelete@Adrea
I never thought about evidence having to be actual objects and such, that's a good point because I'm not much of a scrapbooker either, does anyone have some examples of evidence that can be used?
@Shannon
I'm totally in the same boat as far as not knowing how the eportfolio can be incorporated or introduced in the interview process. I hope that this will be addressed better in the capstone class.
My e-portofolio is designed to premed students or students who want admission to medical school. the portofolio will have suggestions and task is have done so far to help me prepare for medical school admission. This portofolio will be a great reference when i am writing my personal statement in which i can look back to as reference on past accomplishments. In addition, a brief glimpse of my work completed so far as a pre-med student will be portrayed.
ReplyDelete@Lindsey
Hi wow their are more and more students that i have come to known that are going to medical school with an IDS major =). I agree with you that the e-portofolio will help you in admission to medical school. I wish you the best for your future plans.
@Shannon I agree with your statement, I believe it will help future employers and grad/law school admissions personal to get to know you on a more personal level.
ReplyDelete@Lindsey I feel this will leave a great impression on any admissions board." After reading my eportfolio I hope what stands out the most to the medical school advisory board is my passion for caring and commitment to bettering my community." Good luck!
