It includes reflection, and it&#8217;s usually across the college experience.<br /> -Lynn Meade</p> <p>Anytime I teach portfolios, it&#8217;s really big that we talk about audience and purpose. Who is your audience and what is your purpose?<br /> -Lynn Meade</p> <p>There&#8217;s something particularly lovely about seeing student or faculty members&#8217; written comments about my work. Both the critiques and those comments that build me up, and how very powerful they are, and how much they mean to me.<br /> -Lynn Meade</p> <p>It&#8217;s not about the tech. The most important thing is, am I writing? Am I able to think about myself? Am I able to reflect about myself?<br /> -Lynn Meade</p> <p></div><div id="" class="one-half divwrap clearfix" /></p> <h2>Resources</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://uark.pressbooks.pub/eportolio/">Building a Professional Portfolio (OER Book) by Lynn Meade</a></li> <li><a href="https://portfolio.uark.edu/">University of Arkansas Student Portfolios (portfolio.uark.edu)</a></li> <li><a href="https://news.uark.edu/articles/78540/award-winning-eportfolios-highlight-student-talent-and-career-readiness">Award-Winning ePortfolios Highlight Student Talent and Career Readiness</a></li> <li><a href="https://news.uark.edu/articles/63367/fulbright-college-team-outlines-eportfolio-initiative">Fulbright College Team Outlines ePortfolio Initiative</a></li> <li><a href="https://news.uark.edu/articles/70368/multiple-new-u-of-a-eportfolio-resources-available-for-students-and-faculty">Multiple New U of A ePortfolio Resources Available for Students and Faculty</a></li> <li><a href="https://the-pedagogy-toolkit.captivate.fm/episode/eportfoliopartone">Beyond a Resume, Part One: ePortfolios in Higher Ed (podcast)</a></li> <li><a href="https://the-pedagogy-toolkit.captivate.fm/episode/eportfolio-part-two">Beyond a Resume, Part Two: ePortfolios in Higher Ed (podcast)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.aacu.org/trending-topics/eportfolios">ePortfolios Overview (AAC&#38;U ePortfolios Topic Page)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.polleverywhere.com/">Poll Everywhere</a></li> <li><a href="https://biblioracle.substack.com/p/reese-w-is-here-to-boost-my-writing">Reese W. is Here to Boost My Writing Career, by John Warner</a></li> <li><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/79174/9780452281325">The Feeling Good Handbook by David Burns</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancyduarte/">Nancy Duarte on LinkedIn</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEmt1Znux58">Video on Box Breathing</a></li> </ul> <p></div></p>
