ePortfolio™ - Create a New Electronic Tool for Job Seeking - ePortfolio™
|
Hiring
officials want evidence that new hires are well trained in
their subject area, communicate effectively with parents,
work collaboratively in teams, and incorporate technological
applications in the classroom.

The ePortfolio™
project helps develop technological competencies that easily transfer
from the campus setting to the world of work. Become part of the
College of Education's electronic portfolio project and build a
new electronic tool for job seeking.
About the
project:
The Electronic Portfolio Project is a special project developed
for students in the College of Education at The University of Iowa.
Rebecca Anthony, Director of Educational Placement, introduced the
idea of taking the traditional paper interview portfolio and transforming
the materials into an electronic version in 1996. John Achrazoglou,
Instructional Technology Coordinator, has provided guidance for
the technical skills that help translate ideas and paper materials
to web-based portfolios.
Input regarding portfolio materials was contributed by hiring officials from 49 states in a national study that asked employers about their process for screening and selecting licensed educators. Results from this survey (co-conducted by Rebecca Anthony and Gerald Roe, The University of Iowa) are used by students when designing ePortfolios.
Example portfolios:The following model portfolios demonstrate many of the capabilities of this electronic marketing tool. Please examine the contents of the model portfolios but do not copy the material for use in your own electronic version. Remember, employers value creativity in the graduates they hire.
