Introduction
Welcome to my MyPortfolio taster session page.
It is impossible to cover all the information and practical skills involved with MyPortfolio during this session. I advise that you bookmark this page and return to it, to work through the various skill tasks. Each task has a video explaining the steps.
I encourage you also to:
- Join the Diigo group for MyPortfolio for information relating to ePortfolios and MyPortfolio.
- Fill in the feedback form on this page.
- Become familiar with help and support for MyPortfolio.
Task 1: Edit your profile
Create a Learner Profile
Task: Begin building an e-portfolio that contains essential information about you as a person, and as a teacher. We will use this the same way a student would use a learner profile.
Task 2: Create a Journal
Create a journal called 'MyPortfolio taster session'.
Create a jounal entry called 'Application of MyPortfolio in the classroom' and add some of your thoughts.
Task 3: Find a friend
In this task you will search for a friend and send a friend request.
Extra: Find other members from the taster session.
Task 4: Create a page

Creating pages video
Task 5: Share a page with a friend
The video above takes you through the steps of sharing your page. Try sharing it with a friend you have made or make it public.

Leaving feedback
..
You can leave feedback on a document in a page or on a whole page.
This feedback can be private or public.
Creating Groups
..
Groups are a great way to build an online community. You can get students to join your class group to make it easier to communicate with them, to contact you and to share with each other.
Inside the group you can create group views, use forums, journals and save files.
Help and support
There are a number of ways to find relevant help and support, whether you are looking for a simple 'how-to' answer or you're needing some inspiration.
- On the home page you will find links and resources. This has a variety of reference sources.
- Find groups that meet your needs.
- Support page.
