Reflection task 4

What is HTML?
HTML is a computer language that helps you create websites. With HTML everyone in the internet can see it and you may edit it as well. HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.
Why do we need HTML for creating web pages?
To create websites we need HTML because it’s an easy way to transfer information or data to the internet which can be editable. Also
Did you find HTML a good option for creating your digital portfolio?
 I think HTML is a good way to do your digital portfolio because once you know the headings it is easy to understand the basic concepts. Also It’s a good tool for the future.
What do you think about your first site created?  What are the strengths, what could you have done better?
I think the first website I’ve created if quite good. I think I could have used a bit more of detail in my writing. It was a bit hard to get everything in order. But once I was done with my first part it was way easier to do my country page.

Blog Reflection

A blog is like a internet website where you can have a diary so people can read it all around the world. A blog is very useful for people to know what is going on with you. In the blog you can comment on other people's blogs. We use blogs to express or explain things. everyone can read this, teachers, students, family, friends etc. I think Blogs are very useful for people to read your writing skills.And also another way to communicate around the world.

Reseearch - Digital Portfolio

Three important features of a digital portfolio:


• To show cast the work of the student's blog.

• It can show your good skills in illustrations as well as writing.

• It's a easy way of showing people what your life is like with technology.

One advantage of a digital portfolio:



The advantages of having a portfolio is that it is accessible from multiple locations as well as many people can view it at the same time.



One disadvantage of a digital portfolio:



A disadvantage of a digital portfolio for a student is that it requires advanced technology which sometimes could be hard. And there could be plagiarism.



First portfolio:



Digital Portfolio – Colleen



http://www.richerpicture.com/dp/colleen/index.html



The content in this portfolio is about her studies in Primrose Hill School Barrington, Rhode Island. The areas that are included are Reading, Writing, Math, Social Interaction and Conference Summary Reports. I personally don’t think it’s good because it is very plain. But what it is good about it is that it has a propose which is school subjects. I think what the girl did was good thinking that she was only going to do something with her school subjects.



Second portfolio:



Digital Portfolio - Kathleen Fischer’s Portfolio



http://durak.org/kathy/portfolio/



This portfolio shows her abilities and experiences according to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing Standards. The areas included in this portfolio are home, environment, instruction, teaching, motivation, cognitive, presentation, presentation, assessment, affective, cross-cultural, and professional. I think this is a good portfolio but it looks very crowded.



Third Portfolio:



Digital Portfolio – Sean Dreilinger



http://durak.org/sean/



The content in the portfolio is about the life of a boy. The areas included in this portfolio are family, friends, resume, cuyamaca, Del mar, contact, writing & reference, and books. This portfolio looks organized but everything is on one side which doesn’t make it look nice. Otherwise I think its fine.
