You will be asked to complete a number of projects in EDU 241, including an electronic portfolio (ePortfolio). There are various authoring programs that can be used to create ePortfolios. In the past, this course used Adobe GoLive. However, this authoring program can be cumbersome and requires a paid subscription. Alternatively, we will be using Google Sites this semester. This free authoring program has many advantages. For example, you do not need to have any previous technical knowledge nor do you have to learn HTML in order to build a high-quality website. Please see below for information on individual pages within your website. __________________________________________________________________
