- You’re recording your progress.
- You can reflect on one step, but also on a whole semester or school year.
- Work doesn’t get “lost in your drawer”.
- Your teachers and classmates, who are helping you in your development by providing feedback, can look at your blog.
- You can be an inspiration to your peers.

How should you manage your development portfolio?
- Set up a portfolio according to one of the manuals.
- To start, write down several current learning goals or fields either in school or outside it.
- Describe your goals in the given areas in a blog post.
- Continually record your results – write about them, reflect on them, add a screenshot or a photo – anything can help you take down your activity.
- Add a brief self-evaluation of the activity.
- Ask for feedback and think about how to go forward.
- Follow the portfolios or profiles of your peers, teachers or professionals in your field.
- Create a ritual of greater reflection – for example, go through your individual posts every quarter or half-quarter, follow how far you’ve come and plan where you see yourself in the future.
- You can use your development portfolio for yourself, but also in school if you agree to do so with your teacher. We see a portfolio as technology that can greatly transform learning – despite the general idea of isolated people with digital devices in their hands, they’re actually what connect us and allow to learn from each other socially.
