Mine!

Having ownership of my ePortfolio allows me to become the visionary and voice for my ideas. Through the full ownership of my creation, I can experiment with what I want my digital identity to say about me. I am empowered to explore and experiment through the creation of my ePortfolio—both in form and function. I ultimately control the visual aesthetic, and the tone of the information shared because I own my ePortfolio. Because I own my ePortfolio, the knowledge and information I post is mine to take with me no matter where I work, present, or promote myself. By owning my ePortfolio, I am the “system administrator for [my] digital [life] (Campbell, 2009) and the IT department of my institution is not “the steward for [my] work (Watters, 2015).
