Web Portfolio
You have accomplished so much this year. Be proud of yourselves! Your projects were excellent and deserve special recognition. You can get this recognition by posting up your projects in a public setting: a website that you make yourself!
You will be creating a new website with Google Sites by going to: http://www.google.com/sites. Make it look professional, clean, and ready to be used.
Your website must include the following:
An "introductory" page that includes:
A paragraph describing yourself
A picture of you, or a picture representing you
A paragraph about your experience in this class
Your email address
A "portfolio" page that includes:
Four subpages representing the four most exciting assignments that you did this year, with a brief explanation of each assignment and why it was important or critical to you. ("Brief," in this case, means one paragraph--four sentences--at minimum.) It can be a major assignment or an extra credit assignment!
Attachments on each subpage that exemplify the assignment given (a picture of your assignment, a copy of the assignment itself, etc.)
A "future" page that includes:
How you will use this information as you move forward in either:
Your future schooling (on future projects, etc.)
Your future career
A "links" page that includes:
A list of websites you used this year (three at minimum)
Misc. necessities for your website:
Choose a theme or color scheme that isn’t too busy
Have no broken links or information that isn’t related to your class.
Have a minimum of five embed types. These could be maps (maybe for the future page?), Google Sheets (did you include your Shopping Spree?), images (for Adventure Image, You're the Star, etc.?), a YouTube video (on the about you page, maybe?), anything!
As for an example--check out this webpage! It's not exactly in the same format as the webpage you'll be creating (there's no "future page," for example); however, it's got pictures, embeds, subpages--all the same things that you'll need in order to have a successful website! Poke around and take a look at everything!
