Journal Entry #3

The following journal entry was written on October 31, 2012.
Prompt: What is the function of a portfolio? What is the difference between an archive of information and a portfolio?

Response: The function of a portfolio is to display a plethora of information about one subject with multiple prompts.  An archive can hold information on multiple subjects, but a portfolio focuses on one main subject.  An archive, in other words, is limitless, where as a portfolio is limited.  Also, a portfolio is usually in the form of a book, or held together by some kind of binding.  An archive is more free of formatting. 

I chose to put this article in my e-portfolio to show that I was wrong on some things about portfolios.  Obviously, there is no necessary bonding of pages in my e-portfolio, but it is still very much considered as a form of a portfolio.
