Read what prior participants have said about this course:

• I really had almost no idea what the portfolios in my ___ class would look like when I started in January. On my syllabus it just said "Specifics for the portfolio will be shared later in the semester." So what I learned in this class was how to do it! I was very very pleased with the results.
• I gained a considerable amount of knowledge in the different technology areas even though I thought that I was competent when the classes started. This class helped force me to complete some skills that I wanted to learn but had been putting off. I would say that this has been a very good experience for me.
• I got so much out of these classes. I think most of all, I got a little peace of mind!
• I've learned so much. From new skills with software apps I thought I knew well, to portfolio building and organizing skills. I've gathered a wealth of information and resources to share with our teachers. And, if I reenter the classroom, e-portfolios will be the first activity I implement.
• Well, because of this class, I now have some credibility as the "Coordinator of the Digital Portfolio Implementation" in Teacher Education here at ___. With any luck, it will go SO smoothly that there will not be a need for a coordinator after a year (is that a pipe dream, Helen?) Whew. Implementation. Faculty buy-in. All I can do at this point is share my vision with the faculty and see how it goes.
• Thanks for all the resources and growing experiences. I was already sold on portfolios, but now I feel I have the tools and a lot of the skill needed to use them.
