Education leads to a better tomorrow!

Welcome to my ePortfolio site!

My name is Nathan Brinkhoff. I am currently a student in the School of Education at the University of Bridgeport.

This site is organized as follows:

  • The About Me area contains biographical information, and a detailed resume.
  • The Resources area is a compendium of links to websites in my content area that I’ve found to be particularly useful.
  • The Portfolio sub-pages in this area contain artifacts of learning from my project work in the course of my studies for the Masters in Education.

    There are two major subdivisions to this section.
  • The Pedagogy section contains reflections and artifacts of my work inpedagogy-centric courses such as Philosophical Foundations of Education,Psychology, and Technology.
  • The Curriculum Methods section contains artifacts related to content-specific areas such as Reading and Language Arts, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science.

There are three types of ePortfolio: developmental, reflective and representational.

A developmental ePortfolio, or ePortfolios or digital portfolios, are a record of things that the owner has done over a period of time, and may be directly tied to learner outcomes or rubrics.

A reflective ePortfolio includes personal reflection on the content and what it means for the owner's development.

A representational ePortfolio shows the owner's achievements in relation to particular work or developmental goals and is, therefore, selective. The three main types may be mixed to achieve different learning, personal or work-related outcomes with the ePortfolio owner usually being the person who determines access levels.

The Portfolio area of this web is representational. It contains artifacts of learning for project work I have completed in the following courses:
  1. New Technologies for Learning 1.
  2. Foundations.
  3. Methods.
  4. etc...
