Assignment 1 - Getting Started

Due Monday, 1/27/14, 11:59pm

1. (20 points) Create a class portfolio with Google Sites. It should have the following:

• A homepage with your name, basic information, and your picture. To add picture, choose Insert | Image. Specify your major, what school you go to and some interesting info about yourself.
• Specify the purpose of the portfolio on the main page. State that this is your core Math/CS course at USF and you're learning to build mobile apps that raise awareness about energy consumption.
• A navigation bar with links to your work (initially your "Getting Started Exercise" page as described in 3 below)
• A second navigation (text) bar with links to appinventor, the course site, and the class google group from the home page and sidebar.
• See these instructions for help building a Google site.

2. (10 points) Ensure that you are integrated with the course web site and in particular:

• Fill out the form to register for the course site.
• Make sure you have a pic on the Students page. If you don't appear there, or you want a different pic, email one to your TA Cayla - cshaver88@gmail.com. It needs to be the exact size as the pics there.
• Ensure that your pic links to your Google Sites portfolio page.
• Be sure you have joined the class google group and your pic appears along with your Google account there. Your Dons email address has been automatically added to the group, so either make sure to check your Dons email regularly, or add another address to the group if you prefer.
• Note: you'll need the help of your TA to make all this happen, so do not wait until the last day!

3. (20 points) Complete the Getting Started Exercise reading response page.

• Your response should appear as a page on your portfolio and the sidebar should link to it.
• Provide thoughtful answers in your own words. Refer to and link to the readings/video.
• Your response should include the questions and answers in complete paragraphs.
