- Building the Electronic Portfolio
- The Information-Processing Model/Theory
For coursework at Sinte Gleska University is the building of a portfolio to showcase your work. Typically this is done for student reflections related to course content and where students present their final portfolios within a three ringed-binder. For this course I want you to create electronic portfolios using Google Sites. To build your e-portfolio you will follow these steps:
- Create a Gmail Account
- Once you have created an account you will need to sign into Google.
- Once signed in you will find the Google Apps., which look like a set of 6 on dice.
- When selected a drop down will appear. You will select Drive. At Drive, you will be able to save your documents in the cloud. This means you will be able to open your documents on any computer as long as you are signed into your Google Account.
- Once in Drive, you will notice in the upper right NEW. Select NEW and find within the drop-down select more found at the bottom of the drop down. Seek Google Sites and select.
- After selecting Google Sites you will now have the ability to build your electronic portfolio.
- Follow the video below to assist with the rest.
