Digital Portfolio Design:
You will need to make a website for this class and it will serve as your online portfolio. This means you will post all of your assignments to your website. Just as what the name says, an online portfolio is a way for people (including your teacher) to analyze your works. Please note that as time progresses throughout this course, you will continue to build and display more material in your website.
*As always, please make sure that what you post online is tasteful and appropriate. What we say and do online leaves a permanent record called a "digital footprint". I do not want any of you to say or do anything on these webpages (or anywhere else) that will get you into trouble. Keep it school appropriate.
