The advances in technology have paved the way for student-centered learning environment which is expected to allow higher students’ engagement, active participation, deep meaningful learning, and critical thinking. One of the technology applications which have gained popularity at the beginning of the 1990s is the use of e-portfolio. The development of e-portfolio affordances over a period of time has yet to be explored to ascertain its usefulness particularly in the area of teacher education. This research was conducted to determine the teacher’s affordances in using academic e-portfolio among the teachers in a schools division in the Philippines. Using the descriptive inferential research design, 120 teachers were identified through stratified random sampling design. Data revealed that (1) the respondents have high affordances in terms of basic technical skills; (2) age group affects the basic technical skills of the respondents, teachers who have less than three years in service had higher basic technical skills compared to teachers who are more than four years in service; (3) the respondents practice e-portfolio in their respective fields most of the times; and (4) the respondents who have less than three years in service had higher affordance in academic e-portfolio practices compared to other counterparts. On the other hand, they have comparable results when grouped by school affiliation and grade level taught.
