Ok so I'm struggling to find the time to create my portfolio but I have been able to get layout done. Unfortunately I'm affraid at this point in time I'm going to have to abandon my aesthetic's goal and shoot for a grade goal of just accomplishing what is required and getting a grade. I hate this approach but with 13 games in 7 days and this just being midseason with very little end in sight, I don't know what other approach I can take at this point.
The beauty for me is that I totally see the value in a process like this and fully intend to complete this after the class. I'm not going to lie, I will likely change this portfolio to be a personal portfolio rather than a Master's portfolio, however, I love the idea that much of it will already be done for me. I will pry include a lot of my artifacts and class work into my curriculum vitae, and will likely use much of what I learned in looking at other sites to put together what I feel is not only a true representation of who I am as a teacher but also as a person. I can see linking this portfolio to my school website so my students and parents can get a sense of what I have accomplished and who I am outside of the classroom and I feel that this will benefit in the long run. You also never know when you may need something like this and should I be in need of it, I'm sure the time will be stressful enough without having to add the stress of creating a portfolio at that point in time.
As for the site itself, I must admit that I'm not totally comfortable or don't necessarily like the tools and mechanics of the site, however, I'm hoping as I get an opportunity to use them more, they will grow on me. I certainly look forward to the completion of this site and look forward to the completion of my culminating experience and maybe, just maybe, a couple of days where I can relax and take time for me.
