Electronic portfolios

I am on school holidays at the moment and am using the time to get to all those things that I have wanting to do but have been too busy to do so. I have to complete my Critical Professional Commentary (based on my practicum experience) but this will be a pleasurable experience because I have such fond memories of my school. Secondly I have to do some work on my next essay due for Literacies for Learning (the first one was posted last friday thank goodness). I am also looking at developing my Electronic Teaching portfolio and to this end have found some guides on the internet (see below). This is like a summary of what you have learned, your teaching philosophy, work experiences and such like. In terms of education, I also want to focus on going through the History and Geography textbooks so I can be prepared to teach my year 7, 8, 9 and now 10 hopefully classes next term from the 19th May (when my colleague goes on maternity leave). So, a busy holiday but it is great to have time to do these things and really just not have to worry about being somewhere or doing something...just taking my time and enjoying the projects. Plus, if I do a lot now, I know I will be less stressed when I actually have to start teaching and writing school reports!
