Your digital portfolio will function like its own web site. It will have a home page and a few sub pages. You will provide a link directly to your home page, and it will contain links to your sub pages.
These are the steps we must follow.
- Create your sub pages.
- Either use Microsoft Word (or some other program that is compatible with googledocs) and upload your pages to googledocs, or create your pages as individual documents in googledocs.
- Each portfolio page must be a separate document in googledocs before you can move on.
- For example, for the EAHS Grad Project Portfolio, your sub pages are the research document, the post observation overview, the interview questions, and the thank you letter.
- Create your portfolio home page.
- Same directions as the sub pages, but this page should include a list of all of your sub pages.
- This page should also include the portfolio’s title information, such as your name, your portfolio’s topic, and the school name.
- Your teacher may require you to add resources to the bottom of your portfolio home page.
- Later, you will turn each sub page name in the list into a link to that sub page.
- Publish and link each sub page.
- Open a sub page in googledocs.
- Click on the “Share” button in the top right corner. Choose “Publish as web page.”
- Mark both boxes with a check and publish your document.
- Googledocs should provide a link to your document. Click on the link to view your document.
- Copy the URL (in the address bar) of your document’s online view.
- Open the portfolio home page that you created and highlight the name of the sub page that you just made viewable.
- Click on “Link” in the googledocs toolbar. In the pop-up box, paste the URL in the form field labeled “URL” and then click insert. This should make the name of the sub page into a link to that sub page.
- Repeat these steps for each of the sub pages.
- Publish and link your home page.
- Open your home page in googledocs.
- Click on the “Share” button in the top right corner. Choose “Publish as web page.”
- Mark both boxes with a check and publish your document.
- Googledocs should provide a link to your document. Click on the link to view your document.
- Copy the URL (in the address bar) of your document’s online view.
- Open a new tab in your browser. Direct this new tab to http://tinyurl.com.
- At tinyurl, paste the home page URL into the “long URL” form field. Before clicking the “Make TinyURL” button, type a name for your TinyURL below. For your EAHS grad project, make the name follow this convention “lastname_cc1a_career”. Change it to match your last name, Core Comm. section, and career of interest.
- At the bottom of each of your sub pages, add the words “Click here to return to portfolio home” and make them an active link to your portfolio home page.
- Submit your portfolio’s full TinyURL to your teacher for credit on this assignment.
