This week's question is "What big picture issues related to e-Portfolios are you still missing?" For me, my portfolio has gone pretty smoothly, for the most part. I feel good about what I've gotten done in it so far, but I'm still feeling very overwhelmed about coming up with an idea for my Culminating Experience. I am at a complete loss, and hoping to come up with something really inspiring really soon.
As far as the portfolio itself, the only thing that's frustrating me is some formatting issues. For instance, I really like the format I have for my resume, but when I upload it to Google Docs so I can use it in my e-portfolio, it goes to Google format and loses its whole look! Why is it that we can only insert documents to Google Sites if they are Google Docs? I don't like that feature at all.
The other thing I'm struggling with is being able to include pictures of my students working, since I don't have permission to use their pictures. I'd like to include pictures, but I obviously have to wait until I get permission.
Other than that, I think I've got everything else under control. Any advice on my aforementioned issues would be greatly appreciated!
I feel the same way......I'm having a hard time thinking of a final project. I guess I'm not sure what is being asked of us I guess. I always get better ideas when I see, or hear what other people did.
ReplyDeleteAndi, your portfolio looks great!!! I have to agree with you - I wish you could upload a Word doc into a Google site so it would look the way it does in Word - very frustrating!!!
ReplyDeleteWith the comments that I have read regarding the final project, I don't think I would sweat it too much. I have a feeling that Kris is going to address this on Wed. She would have to - too many of us are floundering. Also, you have to remember that this is only a proposal (in other words, something to stick in your e-portfolio for this class!) and you will probably change it during the next class. Maybe we should have had the Technology Leadership class first!
