e-portfolio and social bookmarking
The main features of a teachers e-portfolio would include information about your teaching qualifications, experience and strengths as a teacher. These are basic reqirements of any document you would present to a possible employer. In addition to this you may include your personal teaching philosophy, including the pedagogy you would use with examples of lessons and resources. This gives any school an insight into the type of teacher you wish to be. In addition to this a section on different types of resources, for example technology, would demonstrate your ability to seek out and use a variety of resources in your lessons.
Social bookmarking is a powerful tool for teachers. To have access to a large variety of resources and to be able to communicate and get feedback from other teachers helps us to become more confident and reflective about our teaching. For teachers who are physically isolated, social bookmarking brings them into contact with with other colleagues, not just to swap teaching ideas, but also issues that they face as teachers in their communities.
