After looking through so many ePortfolios today and over the last several weeks, I noticed that there were many that caught my eye and really hooked me in from the first moment. Most of that was set up of the ePortfolio and how aesthetically pleasing it was to the eye. I also noticed that the ones that posted their blog on the first page were very good writers. You could hear their voice through their writing and the passion they felt for the topics they were writing about. If there was too much text though, it was easy to get lost in it and quickly lose interest.
When I looked at the ePortfolio for Dr. Harapnuik's son, I definitely noticed first how professional the photography was compared to other pictures I had seen on other ePortfolios. They really drew me in, and you could tell that he is an expert in the field by the content that was presented and how it was presented.
I follow some of the people presented on Twitter already, so I was excited to see their sites and see what else they have to offer. This was reaffirming of how powerful that Twitter can even be as an avenue to get an audience for an ePortfolio as well.
I have redone mine several times to hold different information, different color schemes, different themes, etc. At first I felt it was very juvenile in appearance, and I just couldn't figure out how to adjust it to be what I was looking for. So after looking through some ePortfolios from some people in my district, who still use theirs within their professional life, I found a way to start to reach what I was looking for in my own site. It is still very much a work in progress, but I love the way it is coming along.
