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.
Rubric for websites created on Goggle or Weebly.
