Just announced out of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has contracted with eFolio to provide for every resident of Pennsylvania the ability to create and store an electronic portfolio! This is the same system that the state of Minnesota has been using for quite some time now so it looks like its track record has been positive!The use of this system is free of charge for all residents of Pennsylvania and students enrolled at Pennsylvania educational institutions - free of charge! 50 MB storage limit and a fairly sophisticated web application allows users the means to include a range of different information types about themselves and a fair degree of personalization of a some standard templates.

The best thing is that this system reaches all corners of the state and tells us that this phenomenon of individuals using the internet to publish information about themselves as a value-added means of telling their own story is not going away anytime soon!
Get started on your e-portfolio today Pennsylvania!
How awesome... I can't imagine how enthusiastic the entire state has become over creating ePortfolios. I look forward to having you present at the Hendrick Best Practices for Adult Learners Conference in May. Thanks so much for all the extra hours teaching our adult learners the blogging software in manageable chunks.
