Description of Final Product

---

The Professional Portfolio represents the culmination of a student's academic experience at New Tech High. It acts as a repository for their best work. As students create their portfolio, it becomes the driving force for the development and measurement of the school wide learning outcomes, a set of skills critical to success in the 21st century workplace.

Personal Pages:

No "Personal Pages." Keep it professional. Students end up wasting valuable time and any personal pictures can easily be incorporated to fill up portfolio pages content.

Teacher Reflection

---

1. What "real world" activities does this project simulate? In what context would adults need to tackle this same problem/project?

When looking for a job, you search on line, right? Monster.com and so forth? And when the boss needs to hire a worker they also use the web.

Employers are looking for evidence of a potential employee's skills, and if they see a quality web site, job seekers are more likely to get a call-back for an in-person interview.

The problem is, server space to store web pages can be out of reach for some students. This project provides that space and the expertise to create a professional web site.

2. How does your final product reflect student understanding of the content skills?

The portfolio provides a clear means for students to express their goals, growth, skills, and interests in a professional manner. It is also a great place to showcase senior projects.
