Sharing your portfolios is like giving speeches. In order to maximise the effectiveness of your speeches, you must know who your audience is. For example, if you are going to give a speech on how to make cookies to a group of kids 8-9 years of age and a group of MasterChef candidates, you must modify the content and tone of the speech to match your targeted audience. You develop your speech by analysing your audience<ul><li>What are they looking for?</li><li>What will interest them and keep their focus on you?</li></ul>When developing portfolios, you will do the same. You firstly would ask to whom you will show your portfolio. Your audience can be anyone such as yourself, your family, your school principal, your students and their parents, the committee panel who are evaluating your work for career promotion, and your potential employers. AND the list goes on. Based on these audiences, you will develop your portfolios, setting up the content and tone appropriate to what you want them to see in you. I add ‘s’ to portfolios because you can have different portfolios that serve your various needs and audiences. You can use the same artifacts in multiple portfolios and organise them however you want. To sum up, before you start building your portfolio, think about who your audiences are and your purposes for creating this particular portfolio. Then, you will purposely collect, select, organise and reflect upon these collected digital artifacts to demonstrate your progression across time. You will present these artifacts in the ways you want other people to perceive you. Please feel free to share who your audiences are.
