My first impression on ePortfolio was thinking that it looked a little difficult.  I thought that it was going to take a lot of time to figure out how to use it and see what everything was.  Also thought that not knowing anything about ePortfolio made it a little bit more difficult to understand what you had to do and how to figure it out.  I feel like ePortfolio would be able to do well in some cases but in others there are many different feelings and downfalls to using  it.  For me I would much rather use pen and paper, because it’s much easier for me to plan out what I’m trying to write.  I am more of a mind mapping person, I like to write down all my thoughts then eliminate certain one’s that I feel don’t belong in there.  But with ePortfolio, I feel that trying to process something your trying to write would be very difficult adding into things.

To me pen and paper is a much better thing for me because like I said I like to put my thoughts down before I start writing.  Also I feel like if your trying to brainstorm sometimes your thoughts wouldn’t come to you as soon as you think of them.  Some things I would like to try out on this website is figuring out how to use everything and share my opinions with everyone, and maybe have them share their opinions with me.  If I was to type something like an essay I would like to use ePortfolio but just taking personal notes to me I would rather use pen and paper.  Other people may like doing it differently and different strategies may work for them but pen and paper for me is much easier and more efficient to me.
