Dr. Barrett (2000) outlines a five-stage, five-level model for containing electronic portfolios. The focus of this article is on Adobe Acrobat and the Portable Document Format (PDF). According to Barrett, by publishing an ePortfolio in Acrobat a portfolio developer can collect, analyze, and categorize unique artifacts in a broad selection of multimedia (audio, video, and graphic representation). In 2000, Dr. Barrett said that publishing in “Adobe Reader is the most versatile and appropriate tool to publish electronic portfolios because it represents a paper-based portfolio.” She also described “electronic” portfolios as a container for created and intellectual effort. She also describes the structure and sequence for organizing the Portfolio.PDF as well as the Artifacts.PDF.
I found that by reviewing Dr. Barrett’s presentation on graphically organizing PDF files, I now possess a concrete understanding of how to lock-and-step prioritize the contents of an ePortfolio container.

I know that using Adobe Acrobat to save documents in a pdf format made the process of building a website and ePortfolio easier for me.
I found the piece on graphic organizers to be helpful also. I just learned to save as a PDF so this will have to be something else i explore in the future.
Yes, ma'am. I truly think that the PDF document is a fabulous invention. It really provides a wonderful tool to us to keep our formatting and appearance the same, as well as allowing viewablity (is that a word?) to all.
I really like all of the products that Adobe has to offer. You could use acrobat as a glue to hold Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver, and more.
