Reflection
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.
