In looking for eportfolio examples to collect, I tried to find a wide variety of styles and purposes. I selected a community college student portfolio site, a college professor's site and a high school student's site. My goal was to collect sites that were diverse in both purpose and style. i feel that these three sites fit that criteria. The community college site contained many eportfolios and expressed that all students created and maintained eportfolios through out their time there. The portfolios were very uniform with little personal variety. The college professor's portfolio was a vehicle for communicating her research and sharing links with a small amount of personal information. The high school student's portfolio was unique in her use of prezi which made it visually interesting and more personal. These three different approaches offer a broad picture of what an eportfolio can look like.
Adding to this range of possibilities through my classmates selections I have been able to expand this picture. The first portfolio that I would add is in Stephanie's collection. This one is relevant to me because it is an art teacher's portfolio. From her site, one can see her passion for her students and teaching. She adds a little bit of personal information. In addition she shares her practice openly with colleagues and parents. She also celebrates her students' work through the ArtSonia site, which makes it accessible to parents and the community.

The second site that I selected is from Sam's collection. This site is clearly a celebration site - celebrating art making and teaching. The style of the site is clean and easily navigated. It is also personal and playful, including a page dedicated to what she wore. The language is playful and casual. I am curious who she sees as her audience. It appears that perhaps she is targeting other teachers, as she includes lessons and demos of techniques.

The last site that I selected was also from Stephanie's collection. This site is an example of a more professional teaching portfolio. It is clean, easily navigated and focused on sharing the author's teaching achievements and art work. I like how her portfolio is organized. I also appreciate that for some of her student work she included a description of the problem, I would like to see this throughout the work.
