Working with Our ePortflios

Today we are going to add more to our portfolios.  If you haven't created all your pages, changed your theme or changed your font, go back to the other lesson and complete that first.

You need to write an introduction for each page.  On your home page you are going to write an All About Me section.  Include who you are, where you were born, what school you go to, your interests and whatever else you think is important for people to know.

On each of your subject pages introduce some things we do for that subject area, some things you are really good at, some things that are challenges for you and set a goal or two that you would like to work on.  You can include extra stuff if you want.

AFTER you have updated each of the sections, you may add a picture to each of your pages that represents what that page is about.

Watch this video to see how to edit your page and how to add pictures.

Have fun!
