1. INRODUCTION TO EPORTFOLIO

📘 Introduction to My ePortfolio

Welcome to my ePortfolio!

My name is Peter Kibet Misiko, and I created this portfolio to showcase my learning journey, achievements, skills, and experiences. This ePortfolio brings together the work I have completed during my pendagogy and reflects my growth both academically and professionally.

Here, you will find examples of my work, including projects, assignments, reflections, and any relevant extracurricular or professional experiences. Each piece has been carefully selected to demonstrate my progress, critical thinking, and the practical application of what I’ve learned.

This ePortfolio is not just a collection of artifacts—it's a story of my development and a tool to help future educators, employers, and collaborators get to know me better.
