When I googled my name, a link came up to the MSU College of Education’s website. This past spring I had won a scholarship and my name and picture were listed on their website of award recipients. From this, someone could learn that I had won the scholarship and potentially what the requirements for the scholarship were, but they wouldn’t find out anything else about me. Furthermore, this was the only thing that came up when my name was googled. Therefore, potential employers would not find much about me—good or bad.
With the portfolio I have now created, I hope to use this as a resource to send potential employers to in order to give them a better idea about who I am. It also shows them that I have learned a great deal about technology during my time at MSU and so I will be able to use that knowledge and integrate it into the classroom. The portfolio can also be used for parents to look at, or even students. Therefore, I structured the portfolio in a very simple manner, with links back to the other pages on each page so that it is easy to navigate through. Everything is clearly labeled and easy to read. I also provided pictures to make it a bit more interesting, because I know a bunch of text usually isn’t what most people want to look through on a website. Showing pictures of myself makes me relatable and puts a face to a name. Furthermore, I provide contact information on the homepage so that anyone with comments or questions can send me an e-mail.
