I really like the idea of e-Portfolio. It can be people's online academic blog in which resume, working experiences, personal background and other related information can be found.
In this semester, I am also taking Internship course in which my instructor strongly recommended us to build our own e-Portfolio. It is very troublesome to send or upload your resume, lesson plan, curriculum, teaching philosophy together when you apply for a job. If you send your cover letter with an e- Portfolio link, all of the things become neat. The employer can just click the link to view what he needs to know. If he needs more information, he can just choose other tabs to view more, which greatly save the time for employer to keep sending emails asking for more information. By attaching the e-Portfolio link with the cover letter, it also shows that you a teacher who knows about technology and you may well use it in your classroom. My instructor was more convinced that e-Portfolio is useful and important for teachers after she received an email from one of her Japanese student who got a teaching job in one of the Japan university just because of his excellent e-Portfolio.
For preparing for the coming job hunting and personal academic records, I am going to set up my e-Portfolio soon!
