Digital Portfolio


For our final project, we were asked to create a digital portfolio that showcases all the new technology we have been exploring in our courses. The first thing I decided was what site to use. The site needed to offer  a free program to build the portfolio. With a site that is free, please be aware that advertisements will appear on the portfolio. Until I am completely satisfied with my final project, I will stick with a free website. Exploring several free websites was time consuming. I would begin to build and run into technical difficulty.  First I tried web.com. Web.com allows user to build only one page for their portfolio. I wanted several pages. I could have linked everything from different sites, but I wanted someone to find all of my portfolio on the same website. Then I discovered wix.com Wix.com’s tutorial made the website seem simple and easy to navigate. I spent several days locking things into its proper place in order to have a final project.  Still working on trying to embedded my blog to the digital portfolio. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

After I created a couple pages on wix, I decided on what work I wanted to reflect on my digital portfolio. I made some changes to my old work before I uploaded my videos to YouTube.com. Overall I am pleased and plan on upgrading my portfolio over the summer and next year in hopes that it will one day land me a teaching position near Chicago so I can be near my family. Here is to new technology adventures. 
I appreciate any feedback you could share with me. I really want to create a portfolio that will open doors for me to advance in this life of technology. 
Take a look at my portfolio.
