My Online Academic Portfolio (ePortfolio) via Google Sites! - Dr. Jennifer T. Edwards

Readers,


Over the weekend, I decided to create an electronic academic portfolio using Google Sites. I chose Google Sites because I plan to use the free, online software in the fall for the Professional Communication upper-level communication studies classes). 


Here's the link - http://www.tinyurl.com/drjennifertedwards


Should I include anything else? Is anything missing?


I think that all students should have a competitive chance to obtain a job after graduating from college and it seems that electronic portfolios will help them during their journey.


I have to learn how to use the technology and then actively use the technology for at least two weeks before teaching others how to use the technology! :) Hopefully, by the fall semester, I can help my students develop their own online portfolios! :)


Sincerely,


Millennial Professor - Jennifer T. Edwards, Ed.D.

Readers,


I hope to write at least one NSF proposal this year. My colleague and I worked on one of our mutual interests this semester (ECW2011) and I rediscovered my love of renewable energy and sustainability. As communicators, we plan to work with the science department on campus on a program proposal. I am really looking forward to this!


As a result, a large part of my summer break will be spent teaching, researching, and writing grants. Here are some great resources for grant announcements and information focused on grants.:
