E-Portfolio+Builders

Online portfolios are a tool for organizing personal information in a way that identifies you in a particular field of work in a way that is accessible eletronically for others. There is a plethora of them online and it is important to find the one that works best for you and how you want to use it. Some sites, like Livebinder, are great for educational purposes. Others, like E-portfolio, are best for professionals and businessmen. For us in terms of evaluating the best fit for the classroom, cost and user friendliness were the primary deciding factors.
