Audio files can also be part of the dossier of an e-Portfolio.
The reflection about the sound file can be written in the blog entry (= what you are reading right now), and the audio file itself can be uploaded and displayed in the entry.

In the recoding I mentioned Creative Commons, which “provides free tools that let authors, scientists, artists, and educators easily mark their creative work with the freedoms they want it to carry”.
I used GarageBand to do the recording and editing. The sound and music I used were also provided by the program. Please see other entries for more information about audio recordings.
The audio presentation is nice. Can users download the file? How do blogs present video?
Yes, users can download the audio file. Just right mouse click on the audio link and then “Save Link As…”.
I am still experimenting with video… so far it can be posted but not directly played back in the blog entry, only on a different page of the browser. One would have to install a plugin for that… which depends on the provider of the blog…
Audio files also..?? Did not know that you needed to add this too. But its a brilliant idea to add audio files.
A more interactive way to promote your e-portfolio. I should really try this…
