You will now be filling in everything that is listed under DIGITAL JUSTICE and REFLECTIONS (which will be updated on 4/2). |

Part Two: In the Lab |
I. Opening Demos
- You can look at your grades on your ePort now. Go to the digication homepage. Choose Adelante for your courses. Find your gradebook. ePortfolio #1 will be uploaded next week.
- BUTTON FEATURE: You need to change the word "button." Just type in. Hyperlink the button.
- EMBED CODE: Use this function to embed Google Presentations, slideshare(convert your PPT to a digital slideshow for free here), OR prezi.
- HYPERLINKING YOUR OWN WEBSITE: Choose the weblink icon. Then choose STANDARD PAGE. Select the page you want weblinked.
- SOUNDCLOUD: Will give you a nice music player for your site (soundcloud.com where you can follow non-mainstream artists, deejays, etc). It won't play automatically, but the player will be obvious. See below. Use the EMBED code for this. Click here for example.
II. Work Time with Your Group
The more that you spend time with one another, working side-by-side, the more cohesive your website will look. See bullyingimpact.weebly.com as an example.
III. Teaching assistants... write a closing update (What did you all get done today? What is your weekend plan?)
When you are finished with your all of your webpages, go back through the point-spread to see if you have everything. The point-spread is shown on the various pages at the skeleton weebly site: www.professorcarmen.weebly.com. You can also click here.
