Adding to an existing site?

Reminder: don't put the month next to your responses in your ePortfolio. They are here just to share when you'll do each one and show you what questions to put together into paragraphs to make your reflections flow.

If you have an existing ePortfolio, add your LHSI experience as a page with the content below. Make sure to also update your existing homepage to include the required prompts to introduce yourself to visitors. You may already have some of the homepage content; be sure to update or add to include everything required.

About the Internship

In September, add your 1-2 sentence overview of the “why” to tell us the big picture of what your internship site does or aims to achieve. Use the summary you submitted in your goals assignment this month. Edit your overview when you write your elevator pitch in November.

In February, add multimedia to better explain your internship. This can include borrowed Youtube videos or images (be sure to cite them properly), or items you created.

In April add:

your elevator pitch visual (example to the right on this page). You can put it anywhere on the page, we recommend toward the top to grab the viewer’s attention.
If you attended a poster session, conference, presentation, or published as a result of LHSI, add that information here too!

Add a citation for borrowed media when you add multimedia to explain your work during LHSI, such as videos, articles, or infographics about your team.

In April, add your elevator pitch visual here.

In April you'll add:

your showcase project summary. Give it a heading like Project Summary or Abstract. Embed your final project file beneath this summary. If you’ve created a separate page to highlight your work, add a link or button to link to the page here to make it easier to find.
your final project. The Prezi and Powerpoint below are examples of where you could put your final project. This project is about your work and can be any of the types of files we talked about at the workshop and in the Canvas module about the showcase.

Workplace

In February, add:

What kind of team member you have been this year? How did your team role change throughout the internship?
How did your contributions impact the larger project, goals, or mission of your internship team? Why did your efforts, no matter how small or routine, matter to getting the bigger job done?

Learning and Growth

In March you'll complete your spring self-assessment (link in Canvas). Learning to assess your own growth and learning progress is an important skill you’ll need in graduate school and in the workplace. You did a similar self-assessment at orientation and in October to continue to track your growth.

After you submit the self-assessment add the following to your ePortfolio:

March: Which skills on the survey are you using or where are you more confident since fall? Give examples of how you're using the skills or how you know you're growing.

March: Which skills from the survey would you like to continue to work on? What will you do to grow the skills this semester or after LHSI?

In March, explain how has the internship helped you gain a deeper understanding of your coursework and major this year.
