This week's question is "What big picture issues related to e-Portfolios are you still missing?" For me, my portfolio has gone pretty smoothly, for the most part. I feel good about what I've gotten done in it so far, but I'm still feeling very overwhelmed about coming up with an idea for my Culminating Experience. I am at a complete loss, and hoping to come up with something really inspiring really soon.
As far as the portfolio itself, the only thing that's frustrating me is some formatting issues. For instance, I really like the format I have for my resume, but when I upload it to Google Docs so I can use it in my e-portfolio, it goes to Google format and loses its whole look! Why is it that we can only insert documents to Google Sites if they are Google Docs? I don't like that feature at all.
The other thing I'm struggling with is being able to include pictures of my students working, since I don't have permission to use their pictures. I'd like to include pictures, but I obviously have to wait until I get permission.
Other than that, I think I've got everything else under control. Any advice on my aforementioned issues would be greatly appreciated!

CEDO 555 - Blog Post 1
I was amazed at the online portfolios I looked at this week. I personally have never done an ePortfolio, and my school has not used them at all, as far as I know. It's amazing to me how much things have changed since I finished college in 1998. The ePortfolios were almost exactly what I created for my job interviews as far as including artifacts, sample lesson plans, teaching philosophy, etc., except mine was all in one big binder. I am very anxious to work on my own ePortfolio during this class, and see how much has changed since doing my hard copy portfolio in college.
