Think (e-Portfolio) 1. How much research (i.e. what percentage %) did you do on the Web:

a) 5 years ago?

I was 14 years old and the 3rd year of JH school.
I did not have so many opportunities to research, but I have researched the recipe to cook.
I have many cooking books in my house, so about 20% of research was on the web. b) 2 years ago?

I was 17 years old and the 3rd year of high school.
At the time, I often research about the information of entrance exam to university.
I researched 70% on the internet and 30% was asking to teachers or researching at the library.
c) Now?

Now I can use the data base on the Moodle and it is very useful to research academic sources. I do most of research on the web. (85%)

Think (e-Portfolio)

Present about the experience, thought. Show actual performance.

Explore (e-Portfolio) 1. Do you need an e-portfolio? Please watch this presentation (24/31). In your own words, briefly explain what you understand an e-portfolio is.
e-portfolio is the collection of work that I've done or learned. We tend to forget what we have done, but e-portfolio enables us to remember the work.
Online portfolio is useful because it won't get lost or thrown away.
Digital data is easy to recombine.

2. What content may you want to add to your e-portfolio? Think about content that will tell important things about what you know and what you can do, that you would like others to learn about you. Please make a list of your ideas.
Ⅰ. Attach the link to the home page of Modern Dance Society .
Ⅱ. Introduce my favorite songs, books, movies, or things.
Ⅲ. Attach the pictures that I've took
Ⅳ. Keep the diary.

3. What do see as some of the main advantages or disadvantages in having an e-portfolio in addition to (or in place of) a traditional resume? To inform your answer, please compare and contrast the resumes below to some of the e-portfolios.

     The advantage of e-portfolio is that we can easily share movie, music, or various contents. We can easily access by using links to the each websites or files. Also, by the links, we can chose to see only the interesting parts. Traditional resume can show everything on one or a few pages, but sometimes the customers don't need  all the information about the person.

     In contrast, disadvantage is that it is difficult to save the rules and the safety on the internet . Some website ban the direct link, and some website are related to personal data, or there are dangerous sites on the web. So it is difficult to distinguish what is OK to link or not.

Some search engine have become available directly from the text of the pages. It make us possible to use marker on the web page. And the tool bar was organized well.

3. How can your PLE be used to network professionally and connect you (& other students) to learning resources?

"Zotero"enabls us to collect sources, keep sources, and cite easier.

I learned that it is necessary to download tools to make good use of PLE because PLE tools enables us to research and study faster, easier, properly. And the well-organized window enables us to find and view important part easier.
