Identifying the Purpose of Your Portfolio

Writing Response

Directions: To help define the purpose and audience of your portfolio, write a paragraph that answers the following questions. Post your response at Blackboard. You might find it interesting to read your classmates' responses.

1. Why are you creating this portfolio in the first place?
2. What kind of portfolio do you want to create (working or presentation)?
3. Who is the audience?
4. What learner goals will your portfolio demonstrate? (For example, your writing skills? Your ability to manage a project? The units of instruction you can create?)
5. What tools will you need?
6. What are your short- and long-term goals?
