I will now answer the question that has been on my mind non-stop from morning until night.

"How can I use E-portfolio when I am doing student teaching in the field in the 4th quarter and for applying for a job in the 5th quarter?" Alright you caught me I am lying I have not put a great deal of thought into this question but now I will.
The E-portfolio seems to be a good place to put samples of student work and lesson plans. During fourth quarter that will probably be how I will use it most. I will also be thinking about my philosophies about teaching and learning because they will be a large part of my portfolio.
Fifth quarter I will still be able to add student work and lesson plans because I will still be student teaching but in a different setting. It will be interesting to bring my Special Education experiences into my e-portfolio. I may also adapt or create different philosophies depending on the different educational setting where I find myself. I will try and show my portfolio to potential employers and even if they do not actually look at it it will still have been a valuable experience. It is important to think concretely about these important issues in education. Knowing where I stand on issues and what is important to me will make interviews that much easier.
