Task 1 :   Create your e-portfolio (Google Site)

TASK 1: Choose your Project, Create your  Google Site (e-portfolio)

STEP 1

Choose your year long project from Technology Application and PLTW course. It is strongly recommended to discuss this matter with your teacher to decide the most suitable project topic for you.

Option 1: PLTW Courses  

Option 2: Technology Application 

Option 3: Elective  Course   / Club Robotics , Coding  

Will you do a group project ?

If your mentor teacher allows you to work as a group, make a team of 2 or 3 students (no more than 3 students in one team). Be aware that each member of the team will have the same website and project so everyone in the team will have the same grades from the same tasks. Also when you participate in a contest there will be only one award for the whole team.

STEP 2

Choose your year long PBL Level II project topic

• • Ask your mentor teacher to share the list of Level II projects.

  • Choose your project from the list. So first come, first served!

  • Ask your mentor teacher for approval so that the teacher will assign that project to you (or your team).

  • Your teacher may ask you to visit him/her to make the final decision. If it is approved you may schedule a time with the teacher to take the materials/equipment.

STEP  3

Sing in to your school Gmail and create a blank Google site

NOTE TO STUDENTS: Do not use the previous sites you have created. You need to start with a new site each year !

• • Log in to https://sites.google.com/ with your PBL Gmail account (Make sure you do not use your school email account).

  • Click "Create a site"

  • Choose BLANK Template

  • Name your site in the following format:

When you create your website, you need to follow this format:

STEMSOS2024 and your shortened project name and two digit number of your choice.

For example: If a student does a scratch snake game project, student will create a Google site in this format "stemsos2024scratchsnakegame" , so the URL address will be http://sites.google.com/site/stemsos2024scratchsnakegame

STEP 4

  • Your STEM teacher's email. (choose the option "editor")

• • Send the URL link of your website to your mentor teacher (to whom is grading your PBL tasks).

  • Add the name of your project that has been approved by your mentor teacher.

  • Also add the names of the team members, if this is a group project.

  • Your mentor teacher will add your site link to school roster later.
