• “ They can engage with that original purpose of the Web – sharing information and collaborating on knowledge-building endeavors – by doing meaningful work online, in the public, with other scholars. That they have a space of their own online, along with the support and the tools to think about what that can look like” – Why ‘A Domain of One’s Own’ Matters (For the Future of Knowledge) → This quote seems to fit in quite well with how our ePortfolio work in class is; a place to get our work out there and start to understand how to take advantage of that. In high school, I never thought of creating a webpage-type account to keep all of my work. Although I did, and still do, save all of my writing assignments and more significant projects because I never know when I might want to look back or use them somehow. Having a platform like my ePortfolio to organize those projects and academic accomplishments definitely makes that looking back part much more manageable and easily accessible. Another important positive mechanism that ePortfolios can have on education is collaboration and engagement with others. Whether or not everyone wants to embrace our reliance on the internet and online structure for academia, it is not going anywhere. I think that making this a part of students’ academic lives will encourage them to continue to share their work with others online and feel comfortable with the growing technologies. This can lead to people later in life having the mindset to grow and adapt to forms of sharing work and creating a place where they can showcase their own accomplishments.
