What are some of the key features of the application?
The EP’s tools include the Portfolio, Message Center, Filing Cabinet, and Journal all designed to emphasize collaboration amongst community members. The Portfolio serves as an organized, annotated electronic repository of a member’s work. It allows community members to collect and display evidence lesson plans, student assignments, and audio or video in order to demonstrate competency in relation to a pre-determined set of professional principles or standards. The Message Center allows members to request feedback, respond to feedback requests, and quickly and easily communicate with other members of the community. In the File Cabinet, members can upload and organize files, folders and links that may eventually be added to the Portfolio. The Journal provides community members with an electr onic tool for recording personal and/or professional observations.
