This activity was a new-wave sort of sharing my resume. When I was finishing my teaching license through SU, the program required me to create an online portfolio to share with prospective job interviews, administration, etc. I felt this online portfolio had little to no value for a first year teacher. My feelings were confirmed by my current administration-explaining that as a first year teacher, they do not consider you to have any prior 'experience'. As disheartening as this may be, it makes sense. Now, as I begin to think about my future in teaching, the online portfolio carries more weight in my application process. As does the knowledge of how to use Google Docs. The way we network with people is changing. Not only are face to face meetings important, but the ease, speed, and general convenience of doc sharing online gives the job application process a new page.
I am currently doing some research on "the new resume" and its differences from the original/standard list of qualifications. I want to stand out with creativity and unique outlook on said "qualifications". That being said, my new resume is still in the works, but I've added a link below that will take you to my first resume that landed my first job.
Using Google Docs addresses the NETS standard 3 because it allows you to model digital age learning and work, all while making it incredibly accessible to share with family, friends, peers, etc. This is a fabulous tool, easy to use, and is most definitely the future of doc sharing. Think of how wonderful it would be to use Google Docs to team plan!!
