ePortfolios
The library staff will continue teaching ePortfolios to all freshmen classes. ePortfolios can cover a variety of topics and be used for future interviews and college applications. We will focus on using ePortfolios as an online resume and will include—
- Your biography,
- Classes taken,
- Extra-curricular activities, including sports teams, and
- Any work experience.
If you have questions about your ePortfolios outside of library class time, please contact Ms. Patty or Ms. Sarah.
