Final Reflection on my e-Portfolio Experience
I was honored to be invited to participate in the e-Portfolio scholars program. I was
introduced during the studio hour of the class CEP 121 to create my own website called ePortfolio that represents my educational goals and achievements at LaGuardia Community
College. I learned the computer software called Netscape Composer and was able to create a
framework of my e-Portfolio. In addition, during the scholars program, I mastered new technical
skills using the computer software called Macromedia Dreamweaver 8. I believe that my
acquired skills in creating and designing websites would be very helpful in the future since we
are living in a digital world.
Creating e-Portfolio I learned to create links, insert and modify pictures and post my
assignments. I also improved my creative writing skills while working on my “Welcome” and
“About me” pages. I enjoyed the most while searching and inserting the appropriate pictures
because I believe that the story of our experiences can be told not only through words but
through the pictures as well. The most challenging part was to look back at some of my old
assignments and write a reflection. I had to review my assignments and evaluate them critically
to conclude how they had impacted my growth and development at the college. The student
technology mentors of the class were very helpful. They gave me additional ideas that enhanced
the overall look of my e-Portfolio.
Finally, when all my work was done I browsed my website again, and saw the reflection
of my journey at LaGuardia Community College. I learned a lot about myself and my future
plans. I also noticed that all the classes I had taken had directed me towards my future career
goals. The overall experience of e-Portfolio scholars program was very enjoyable, constructive,
and knowledgeable. If I would have a chance I would like to work further on my e-Portfolio and
enhance its contexts with my new experiences.
