Electronic Portfolio
Electronic Portfolio• An electronic portfolio or
e-portfolio is a collection of evidence put together and managed by the user usually on a web based platform. Part of all of this evidence is either shared or kept private for personal reflection.

Work Placement Blog
Reflecting on a Work Placement
What is the Blog Tool?
• A blog is short for web log and is an online diary. You can make entries as often as you like in a blog.
• You usually reflect on your day’s work, a task or skill you have gained
• In your work placement, it’s useful as it allows you to record and reflect on your work placement in preparation for your Level 3 Module
Queries about PebblePad
• “Is this PebblePad like the VLE?”• “I’m on this background screen, what do I do
next?”• “The blog can only write 200 words!” –
no this is the description • “How do I save this post?”• “Does my tutor see this blog?”
