Olivia is off to a great start. It appears she has a balanced display of information for both positive and negative sides of social media for employment. I really like how she has already included links to sources of information in her outline. It also impressive that she has successfully embedded an audioboo media post. The only thing that she needs to do is continue finding more information and working on subtitles. she has decent outline titles but has to make them into full sentences, especially with the conclusion.
ReplyDeleteI really like the way this ePortfolio seems to be taking shape. Olivia successfully showed how there are both advantages and disadvantages to social media on the job application process. Both the interview videos and images seem to be in good locations as well. It would be important to note who you plan to interview though. Since your conclusion deals with how social media is beneficial to potential employees maybe your title could deal more with how the benefits out way the disadvantages unless that isn't your point. Overall, the ePortfolio will be very interesting to read once completely investigated.
