As I reflect upon what I’ve learned throughout this course, I can see how much I have truly grown personally. While I was not a fan of changing platforms, I have really started to enjoy (a little) using WordPress. It has its challenges but being able to find answers to those challenges has been a …
I think it would be a fun experience for students to also create an ePortfolio, even if it is a very watered-down project where they can learn to express themselves in a positive way. If students had a way to reflect, it could also lead to healing (for those in the trauma-based schools). Many of …
After reviewing many other websites of previous DLL students and others, you can tell those that have taken ownership and pride in their own work. It also provides inspiration knowing that the more I try to figure out WordPress, the better I’ll get at it. There have been numerous hiccups along the way while trying to figure out …
The peer review process is a great way to get feedback from others. Throughout the process, I have learned a lot. It is easy to just do the bare minimum to get by but putting in the effort will get you much farther. The process shows the following: What works (and what does not work) …

With the use of COVA, it also helps create ownership because the person is given choice on how they want to express those ideas. So far, this program has been fantastic in helping …
While I’ve always wanted to create a digital portfolio, I have never truly sat down to put one together. I’ve been excited to finally be able to sit down and create one. Why should we use an ePortfolio? Because it gives us a way to track our development and showcase our creativity, personality and work. The possibilities an …
7/7/2019 Reflecting upon my why, I feel there are probably many possible versions of my why. First is to better myself by advancing my own education.
