TTWF was another bust, but no one can say that I am not trying to reach the populace. I did get to teach eportfolios today to a group of seniors. I know there are various aspects to eportfolios, but this one dealt with the job concept. The questions were great, and I tailored it well to their situation as best as possible. One of the easiest ways to create a good eportfolio is to utilize a wiki. This gives an on line functionality to the portfolio. I also discussed with them some on line dangers such as Facebook, etc. Many students as well adults feel that the items they post are so secure--they are NOT, and it is difficult to convince them of that. I am still forging ahead on the web sites, and when they see the ease of it, their comfort zones are now expanded to include WYSIWYGs. I also had an interesting conversation with a power who wants me to work with the entrepreneurship challenge. I will attend a meeting next week to find out the particulars.................flick
