Let’s get excited about ePortfolios! What are some of the exciting aspects of this project and do you have any apprehensions about moving forward? Do you think you will have trouble Sharing your skills?
Eportfolio already make me apprehensive because when I reflect on my skills it seems like I just build on what I already know are my skills whether they are soft or hard and never gain or master a new skill. With moving forward with this project I am excited to see what I can collect from each week of this class by not just doing the assignments and obtaining temporary information but actually putting thought to what I am learning. I will find what interest me and hopefully will help with me professionally.
I believe I will have trouble explaining why a skill is a skill for me and actually be able to give examples because most of my skills I currently have are soft skills. I do not believe I have many hard skills or if I do it’s not something that I specialize in well or have the experience doing. A hard skill is learned from education or from getting lucky on a job that teaches you skills. I have not had many opportunities to learn hard skills because jobs are not always willing to train but expecting a person to have a degree in the field or current experience. With soft skills I believe it doesn’t matter what experience you have because it’s within a person or learned throughout life.
