As a culminating activity for the PLTW CAD Modelling unit (Inventor)... you will be creating your own Google Website that will act as a digital portfolio to showcase at the great things you have designed, sketched and then creating using Inventor.
Once completed you will send me the URL to the site. It would be a good idea to keep this site current, and add other technology links, interests and accomplishments that you can then reference and leverage and in High School.
There will be some minimum requirements for your site that you will be given in class, but as you learn more about how to create your Google Site - feel free to improve the look, content and features of your site!!
Here are some links with tutorials on how to get started with Google Sites:
