Blog #10

I remember back in the good ol' days of CI 201, sitting down in the CTLT staring at the screen trying to hold in a stream of obscenities as I realized that I had lost a page of my website and had to start that part over again. Thankfully, I finished the site on time and it still stands as it did back then! (you can see it here) I think that e-portfolios are fantastic, reading these articles actually inspires me to go back and update and make mine a bit more professional for interviews.

In younger grades students can use them to share work with home as well as have a place to access their files from home and at school. Teaching students web design and aesthetics as well as using best practice and integrity are great lessons to start with students at a young age. Designing an online portfolio would be a great co-curricular lesson with art as well, learning about balance, unity and color are all key art concepts. It can also open up students to new career ideas, like web design or graphic design that they may not have thought of before.
