My Digital Footprint

John Seely Brown

The web has just begun to have an impact on our lives.

Building a Professional Portfolio

Your digital footprint provides a public glimpse into you as a person.  Your digital professional portfolio will be a record of your professional life that may be public or private.  It will be the body of evidence that supports your position as a professional and will be used for job applications or staff appraisals.
