<p>One of my favourite posts so far has been my <a href="http://erambler.co.uk/2009/05/30/ask-the-readers-why-use-technology-in-teaching/">first Ask the Readers post</a>, so I’ve decided it’s time to continue the series with another request for ideas. I’ve written before about how I kept a <a href="http://erambler.co.uk/2009/07/22/portfolio-assessment-age-computer/">digital portfolio</a> as part of my Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education qualification. It’s something that I learned a lot from, particularly in conjunction with learning about learning, and I’ve continued the reflective ethos of that portfolio here on the blog.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>But as I’ve come to the end of my current stint of volunteering at the National Trust (on which more in a later post), I’ve been feeling that I want something a bit more than just the shouting into the void that I do here.<br>
|
|||
|
|
<!--more--></p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>I have two difficult tasks ahead:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<ol>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Find a challenging and rewarding job in a very competitive marketplace;</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Continue to learn and grow outside the structures of formal education.</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ol>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>What I really want, then, is somewhere I can:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Continue to reflect and learn, even when said reflections aren’t suitable for public consumption;</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Gather a base of evidence for my skills, to draw on when applying for jobs, and to identify gaps for me to work on;</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Access online, from work, home, conferences, etc.;</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Keep private but make available to individuals for PDRs, professional qualifications, etc.;</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Retain control of and keep regular backups of (this stuff’s valuable).</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>It seems to me like it’s time to resurrect a full portfolio, but as I’m new to this I thought I’d ask for some advice. My question to you is this: <strong>Do you keep a professional portfolio and if so, what are your top tips for doing so?</strong></p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>To get the ball rolling, this is where I am at the moment:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li>I’ve set up a new blog on my trusty self-hosted <a href="http://mu.wordpress.org/">Wordpress MU</a> installation;</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>For advice I have <a href="http://www.shef.ac.uk/careers/students/advice/wep.html">this advice</a> from the University of Sheffield careers service, the <a href="http://www.shef.ac.uk/lets/lt-supp/pche-info.html">course guide</a> from the PCHE and my other half’s copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Building-Your-Portfolio-CILIP-Guide/dp/1856046125/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256154507&sr=8-1">Building Your Portfolio</a> (aimed at qualified librarians seeking chartership).</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>I look forward to reading your comments and I’ll be sure to summarise them in a blog post next month and continue to keep you informed about my progress.</p>
