Implementing ePortfolios with Google Apps

Attended a Technology Integrator meeting with the TIs from the SAU.  Great resource.  Just learned about this script as a possible tool to setup ePortfolios.  
Here is the link to Josh Malloy’s script for distributing eportfolio sites http://www.veriapt.com/presentations/iewga

Using online Digital Timeline Tools

Creating a timeline can be fun and time consuming.  Doing it on large sheets of paper can be frustrating.  I recommend trying out a few different online Digital Timeline tools.  I have created a list below for you to try.


Tiki-Toki's free account lets you create a fully-functional timeline that you can share with friends and 
colleagues.  You have to create an account to access the free tool. As a student you can sign up and 
create and save just one timeline.
 
TimeToast allows you to create timelines and share them on the web. The process only takes a couple
of minutes and is very simple to use. You have to create an account to access the free tool.

Dipity
Dipity allows users to create free timelines online. You have to create an account to access the free
tool.
Here's a tutorial.


Time Glider
Time Glider is a web tool that lets you create, collaborate on, and publish zooming/planning interactive 

timelines for free.  It is like Google Maps but for time. As a student you can sign up and create and 
save three timelines.

xtimeline is a free web-based timeline. Easily create and share timelines with pictures and videos.
You have to create an account to access the free tool.

Brochure Template

Using a Brochure Template.  To create a brochure, often times you will try to start fresh and begin by formatting a word document.  Unless you are proficient with the formatting tools of your application, I recommend using a template and saving yourself the time necessary to setup the tri-fold brochure.

The link below provides you access to a document template that contains the Tri-fold formatting setup.  You will need to replace the existing text with your own text, replace the existing images with your images.  Save the document to your repository (on the U:drive) so you can go back and edit.  Name the file 08COLF-80n-First Last.  (e.g. 08COLF-802-Jane Doe)
