I am really interested in creating an electronic portfolio that I can keep all of my important things in and I was thinking about using my own personal Web Site as the glue, but it seems that many ePortfolios are created with some type of online software. The ePortfolio Web Sites that I have visited all seem to charge a little bit of money to create and host the portfolio.
I was really amazed to see the large selection of ePortfolio articles linked in this article. Unfortunately, it seemed that many of the links were old and no longer in use.
I also read the article written by Dr. Helen Barrett and I was really surprised to see that she wrote it because she is the one who is doing to Google docs portfolios. I think that ePortfolios will become easier and easier to create because more and more companies appear to be in the business of creating ePortfolios.

Hi Cean,
It appears that ePortfolios are becoming more and more the trend in both private and public domains. Good observation! :)
I still think you can create your own portfolio with your web site. As you become more experienced I think you will find that you can duplicate whatever you are seeing on the web. Interesting tid bit about Helen Barrett...another reason to look in to the google docs portfolio option.
I agree that the development of Electronic Portfolios will become easier and more accessible, because that is what our world is turning to. Thank goodness we are taking this class so we understand the research behind this implementation and have created our own portfolio to demonstrate our learning, growth, and understanding of technology integration.
I personally think that you can create a very effective portfolio using free tools (including your blog). I actually did a webinar a few months ago on how to create an online portfolio using free tools--the notes for that webinar are here:

I also recently posted on how you can create a really quick portfolio using the delicious social bookmarking site. The post is here:

I agree that it will become easier to build and maintain an ePortfolio. To be able to have one place to keep the work you are most proud of is amazing.
