== Extending Portfolio ==

Reflection is an important part of learning and a good habit to establish in general. An analog to writing descriptions in the Journal -- the text that is shown in the Portfolio presentations -- is writing commit messages in git. It forces you to stop, reflect, and then articulate to others what you have done and why.

In addition to using Portfolio as a tool for reflection, it can be used as a more general-purpose presentation tool. For example, a collection of photographs can be annotated (by using the title and description fields in the Journal detail view for each photo) and then made into a slideshow. The order of the slides can be modified from the Thumbnail view.
