When deciding on what to do for my project I know that I wanted something that I could use for applying for jobs moving forward. In one of my other classes we had to put together a teaching portfolio that we could give to prospective employers when we interviewed. When the project was mentioned it seemed to me that something I could do that would be great for this project as well as for going forward into my teaching career would be to have a digital version of a teaching portfolio that I could give to prospective employers. I am very happy with my product because I think it gives a good overview of who I am as a teacher. I hope to continue to add to this and improve it as I go through student teaching to eventually have a product that is comprehensive of all of my teaching experience and can be used to show the kind of teaching applicant I am. As a teacher who is going to be going into classrooms that are advancing into the 21st century, it only makes sense that as an applicant I begin to move away from the traditional and present myself as a modern candidate, and that includes using technology! By creating a digital teaching portfolio, I am setting myself up to go into the professional world with a product that I can continue to keep current and use to show that I would be an asset to any school.
