Reflection

Please describe your experience with developing your electronic portfolio. Give any feedback that may be important to consider in the future. What did you learn (techonlogy tools, language skills, working with others, etc.)? Would you want to keep this portfolio for yourself after you gradute or leave this class?

I really enjoyed developing the eportofolio. It was very fun. it helped me speak spanish better and it helped me be able to write spanish alot better. I learned alot. I learned how to do a blog, to put vidoes up and alot of other things. I will not reccomend procrastinating on the eportofolio because it takes wahile to catch up. This eportfolio was a great experience.
