Hello Maroonavites,
Welcome back to Capstone. This semester we are going to focus on the development of a digital portfolio. The goal is to have electronic evidence of your project and how it develops over the coming months. Please read the wikipedia entry for Electronic Portfolios.
Next, brainstorm some ideas for your own electronic portfolio. What will be in it? What type of electronic media will you be using? Wiki? Blog? PowerPoint? Word Documents? Podcast? You want to dabble in as many forms as possible. This will help develop your skill set, both for school and for future employment. Additionally, you should consider your project, what types of media would work best for your project? Perhaps you want to create a pamphlet and might need access to Publisher, or you are working on music and need software to help you create your musical style.
In class assignment. Research electronic portfolios. Come up with a plan for your own portfolio. Also, you need to find an adult mentor to help with your project. Many of you have one already and probably are having an easier time with your project. Please share with the class how your adult mentor is helping and how you found someone to work with.
Have a great day!
