Portfolio


 * Portfolio Page**

Hi all. How are you getting on with this portfolio business? I must say I'm struggling a bit and don't really know how to couch it. Anyway, just getting on with it for now and hoping for the best. How are you guys doing it?
 * Craig**:

I was hitting a brick wall but now I have decided to write about 5 web 2.0 technologies and the theories of interactivity and online communities behind them. I will hyperlink a lot of what I have written in my blog. I have created a fun presentation to begin the portfolio which sees me having an online conversation with Feuerstein. I Have designed it in my own website which as yet is not uploaded. Well it is now but it is a work in progress. OH MY GOD I HAVE MY VERY OWN WEBSITE, AAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH I am so excited.
 * Lesley**
 * Craig** clever stuff Lesley. Like the Feuerstein conversation.


 * Julie**: I sat down last night and decided to split it into a few categories: What is interactivity, what makes a good online community, etc and then listed the various theorists for each one. I will slot in a few quotes and links to parts of the blog that reflect the theory being described. Now I just need to put some meat on the bones ... BTW I had forgotten about Collis and Moonen's contributing student which I think will be a much quoted article from me :-)
 * Craig** - kind of taken the same tack, though i have the feeling it's all mixed up. Have written quite a bit on VCoPs and Yacci and Laurillard, with blog excerpts to illustrate. My bit on the 'things' will be quite short.


 * Lesley** - Oh good strategy. Thanks for the reminder about Collis and Moonen. What are you typing it into? Word or what? Are you writing in the first person like Cheryl said we could?
 * Craig -** I agree. Good work Julie. Nice touch with Col. and Moon.


 * Julie** : Yes I'm writing in the first person. Just doing the draft in Word then will paste into an eportfolio to fancy-fy it later. What is everyone else doing?
 * Craig** - Word Doc with hyperlinks. Also first person for me with a few fancy words thrown in :-)
 * Lesley** - Craig, to make it more fanciedfied you can save your word doc as a web page. That way when Cheryl reads it the links work automatically on first click! Good point on the emboldening of our names whoever did that. Also craig I have invited others to join this such as Beth, David and Andrew, could you tell them how good it is?

Are you nearly there?
 * Craig -** Just pressed the submit button and sent off my draft. Not a happy chappy, but as long as I don't have to do it again, it's OK. Word count 2356 without blog entries and quotes! I was so bored in the end.


 * Lesley** - There's me thinking a draft was an outline of what you intended to write. Write mine for me and I'll give you a £100.00


 * Julie** - Can't believe I'm studying on a Friday night instead of having a glass of wine! Anyway, my draft is just going to have the gubbins about interactivity and online communities and the blog inserts will have to be done for the final version. Did interactivity last night - online communities tonight :-( Friday night studying - not a good idea. Are you feeling better now Craig?
