"Creating my portfolio has really helped me to appreciate how much I have accomplished in the classroom and in my various student organizations. Making two distinct portfolios over time and combining them has really shown me how much I have grown through my years at Penn State and developed into the person I am today. It has helped to shine light on my past while guiding me towards my future at the same time."

Matt's (Science, 2004) e-Portfolio documents how his involvement in activities outside of the classroom have clearly added a valuable dimension to his Penn State experience!

The title that Matt puts right out front on his home page says it all - a clear message to any viewer stating what is important to him... Learning, Educating and Serving!

Matt does not hide his evidence - instead he features it prominently on his pages. Above, he shares a photo of himself getting involved and then states why this is so important to him. Simple yet brilliant!

Matt shares a wide range of artifacts in his teaching growth portfolio. Again, his skills, knowledge and personable nature shines throughout!

Matt's recognizes the value of his journal entries within his teaching portfolio, not only when they were written, but later when he re-read them and could see and understand his growth as a teacher.
