Topic: About myself,my work and life experience.

Purpose: To inform employers about me, my creative ventures and previous work experience.

Figuring out my ePortfolio ideas wasn't too difficult, since with previous assignments I have figured out what I want to display to the internet public. The link to previous student's pages helped immensely, and I'm sure it will in the creation process as well.

Understanding about mindmaps was easy. It's such a great, simple concept, and basically something I have already been doing in my writing for years. The Maximize the Power of Your Brain video with Tony Buzan was very helpful as well, and figuring out if I am left brained or right brained was very interesting as well- (one test said I was left brained, and one right. I guess I'm a good mix of both?)

I did however, find XMind mind mapping hard to use. It took me a while to understand how everything went together, and the control buttons were so small I kept accidentally clicking a different one. I was very frusterated and had to keep erasing work and starting over until I started over again. I didn't think it was very self evident to use, or easy even once I knew how to do it. I probably wouldn't use it as a tool after this class.
