It's time to start building a foundation for your web-based portfolio. We'll be adding to this electronic document throughout the semester. We'll start with a topic upon which you are an expert: yourself. Today we'll be building the structure of your website and the autobiography page of your portfolio.
If you have not already created your gmail account, check your UGA email and open the email from gretchenathome@gmail.com. This email contains a link that will allow you to set up your own account.
Once you've created your account, go to http://pages.google.com and login with your gmail account information. We'll walk you through the rest.
Your finished autobiography page (due Thursday, January 18 at the beginning of class) should include the following:
1. A brief (1-2 paragraph) introduction to yourself – current information, career plans, and where you see yourself in 5 years.
2. A link to your resume.
3. At least 3 external links to places of interest.
4. 3-5 pictures
For Thursday:
1. Complete your autobiography page and publish it to the web. Remember - it works best with Firefox as your browser -- download it here if you don't already have it. To access your pages to continue working on them, go to Google Pages and log in with your google ID.
2. If you need additional help with completing your autobiography page you can use this link to help: http://pages.google.com/-/about.html#using or you can send me an email: gbthomas@uga.edu
3. If you're not sure what to write - view samples from summer semester.
