This last assignment of unit 4 was to create a Web folio. They are a great way of pulling everything together from this course to showcase what we’ve learned in a nicely presented format.
Web portfolios are a fantastic way for students to highlight our skills, work experience, projects, and potential for graduate school applications, or opportunities with future employers or volunteer organizations etc. Online portfolios can also be a great way to personally display our knowledge and interests to your family and friends. They can help make a great first impression! So it is important to consider our target audience. For me, my target audience would be future employers in the dental industry like dentists or dental journals in which I would submit my writing to for publication. Additionally, I can send my profile page to volunteer organizations I wish to be apart of like the one I chose for my application package assignment as well as companies I would like to market products to.
This assignment encouraged me to critically think about what my next steps are on my career path. I considered future goals and possible interests which will shape my role in my desired community and what I choose to do with the completion of the Bachelor’s Degree of Dental Science.
