TASK • All students are required to create portfolios (preferably both print portfolio and e-portfolio) to demonstrate their growths and preparations for the teaching career. There are many different ways to make e-portfolios. You may choose the tools and Web services that you prefer. However, if you are not familiar with the Web development, you are highly encouraged to use the Weebly.com (as well as Wix.com) to establish your e-portfolio.
What you need • A web space • A domain name • Tools to build the site (Dreamweaver, FrontPage, Expression Web, Web coding, graphics, video management….) • Fancy stuff: HTML, CSS, RSS, Java, ….
Possible solutions • Build with traditional tools • Use existing services (Google site, iWeb, Weebly, Wordpress ….)
What to include • Items that can best represent you • Personal information • Accomplishments • Evidences of effective teaching • Uniqueness about yourself • Pictures with captions
Weebly example • Sign up as a new user • Set up the user name and password • Pick a background • Start building with a new page (Pages > New) • Insert elements • Publish and test
Suggestions • Visit the following site for a short tutorial video to walk through the basic steps. This tutorial is simple and self-explanatory. http://www.slideshare.net/joeyweaver/creating-a-website-in-weebly • Give it a try and do it sooner.
