I looked at a few of the suggested site for my digital portfolio. So
much of my information is already in blogs, my class website, and other
digital formats that I decided I wanted to keep this to a simpler site.
I chose to use About.me since it is more of a one page intro that then
can be linked to many other pages and sites. I decided to use my
headshot along side my bio in order to have a clear picture of my face
and use a picture of my jumping in competition to accompany it. After
writing a brief overview bio and adding my work and education
information, I started thinking about what other items I wanted to
include. Using the apps tool I liked my EDIM 514 blog and my class
twitter account. Then I began adding links. I started with my
classroom website, my Ustream channel, and my Diigo bookmarks. Next I
thought it would be nice to add a few personal touches. I added a video
using the youtube option but then had to adjust all my spacing because
it places the video at the beginning of your bio. Once I readjusted, I
decided it would also be nice to add a link to a cabaret performance in
the links section. I chose not to link my Facebook account as this could
be used for more professional situations and my Facebook is more my
personal social life.
Overall, I think that the About.Me site is a nice way to show and link
to a few aspects of your life without having to build sepsarate pages
for everything and withought having the same content repeated over and
over in yet another location on the web. The site was fairly easy to
use and made creating a quick intro style page simple and neatly
organized. Here is the link to my page:
