New wiki: Rubric

Using wikispaces, we made new wiki's, which are basically digital portfolios. I found it easy and enjoyable as it didnt consume a lot of time, nore does it need any effort to create in the beggining. But as the syaing goes, succcess is measured by effort so working hard on the website should make it better.

We also made a rubric, so that we can evaluate our work. Also, a rubric helps us understand what level we should be in, and how to improve the work we have, so when it is graded it will be good.

Task 3

HTML

Being the old and dull, or classic way of making a webpage, this 'way' may prove to be very tiering and daunting. although it was a good way, or basically the only way, it is obvious that programs such as dreamweaver made it easier as what you see is what you get. Now, i would say this way isnt a very good way of making a website, as it will consume a lot of time and wont be very easy to make. Today, we have programs that allow us to make websites in a more efficient manner.



Dreamweaver and Frontpage:



These programs have obvious advantages to the old way of making websites. the most important is the fact that using Dreamweaver and Frontpage will allow for a 'what you see is what you get' creation of a website. this helps, as it is now easier to lay out information and pictures, also the overall organization will be weasier to edit. The only problem with these progrmas is the fact that the 'webpage' is saved on the comoputer, and we therefore need to buy a space from the internet to upload it.

wikis:


Wikis are similar to dreamweaver and frontpage, but the good thing is the fact they are on the internet and so after one finishes a page, it ill be on the internet, and wont need uploading.

Task 2

These are three ways in which a digital portfolio is important:

To whom it may conern: What is a Digital Portfolio?

-A digital portfolio is goal-based collection of reflections. the main idea of a portfolio is to show someone's growth and to show how they have developed in different areas.

- A digital portfolio shows a students achievments in and out of school, even achievments within the community, these things can be viewed by teachers and parents, bbut for different reasons of course.

-A digital Portfolio can also help give an idea of the students personal life, as the reflections can show some of his likes and dislikes. This allows them to display a wide variety of materials and content, which is a good overal view of a students educational life.

The advantages and disadvantages of a digital Portfolio:


- A great advantage of a digital Portfolio is the display of many ideas and documents in a very clear way to access, rather than have them in hard copys, one can display most of their work in one area, or can split them under sections where they are easily accessable.

- A disadvantage is the fact that most digital portfolios can easily be copied and pasted under someone else's name, thus provoking plagarism.

Marielle's digital Portfolio

Although Marielle's portfolio is nice, it is also kind of plain because the white background isnt that nice.


- Another point that i dont find interesting in Marielle's portfolio is the fact that in her main page she provides a lot of answers and questions, I dont find that appealing because the main page should be more introductory than work-based.

- I only like the fact the fact that she answers questions properly, as her blog is almost very dull.

Task 1

Vince's Portfolio

I enjoyed reading Vince's portfolio, he had spent some effort in it and made it look good!

- The Portfolio is full of content regarding school, and all the lessons are covered within the portfolio. Vincent also has a great opening page, the headings attract people and the jovial, friendly language and tone provides a good read. Vincent covers most school subjects, (i.e. bangla, english, French and Math).

Vincent's Portfolio - The Main Page

- The Portfolio is quite organized, and it is is organized for easy access from the reader. The links are mostly on the left side and they are all under sutable headings, which shows organization. The Portfolio's colors arent very interesting, the dark green doesnt look appealing, especially with the orange text.

- Its nice to see other people's blogs, especially ones like Vincent's which have been mad with some hard work and care. I like the ovverall view of the portfolio and the mood it set me in, but i have to admit the colors werent that appealing.
