Project #1

Our first project was to create our own eportfolio and publish it.  The purpose of this project is to act as a way of sharing my work and myself with others.  I began by making my homepage and then added links such as my projects page, reading assignments, my resume, and other cool ideas and links.  I then went on to making it colorful and more creative to help draw interest of others. 

To create and publish this eportfolio, I used two programs.  I began by using Netscape Composer.  Netscape Composer was used to create all the pages that you see on my eportfolio.  I then went onto using WS_FTP to publish and upload my website onto the internet. 

This project will help to facilitate kids learning in my classroom teaching in a number of ways.  First of all, by learning the ropes of Netscape Composer, I know can use this in the future to create a website of my own.  This will be a good way of communication among me and not only the students, but their parents as well.  This project also gives me a way of organizing and displaying all of my work in one area.  Finally, this project can be used as an educational tool for my colleagues and other future teachers that I know.
