It is very different from the original information architecture drawing, which Ellen actually said would happen, this is fine as it allowed me to change and adapt to what i wanted to be reflected about myself.

In evaluation, i would have loved to have more colour in my eportfolio, html put a stop to that. Leaving them as word documents were just safer and i would rather it be safe and boring than better but may not work.

I also have included two powerpoint presentations which fingers crossed will also work!

This eportfolio process has taught me a fair bit about computers (even if they dont works sometimes) and i aim to keep it updated so i can use it in the future.

At most times it was a fun process and maybe i am now tempted to set up a my space page. hmmm.

The only thing i am slightly worried about is the fact that it is all public now and i have included rather personal information. I am considering after it is marked to go back and change the files from public to private or logged in users, i appreciate that.

I think that is it, hope you enjoy looking at my eportfolio.

Have only had one problem over the weekend. I have no idea how to make a html file work! I did it all properly (the exact way we were taught) and loaded it successfully however it wouldnt work, i could have just left it however i didnt want to risk it so i have changed them ALL back to word documents. Im a bit disappointed because html files look so much nicer than boring word documents. However i have quite a few other artefacts so i think thatll make it ok.]]> http://digitaldialogues.org/eportfolios/amandan/weblog/1006.html Fri, 03 Nov 2006 06:25:02 GMT
We reflected a little on what we learnt and had gained from the subject, most answers involved now being able to use mac computers which it seems most people have had the most trouble with.

Oh and i sorted out how to add Ellen as a friend so thats good.

After class i went on another computer to check what mine looked like from an outsider perspective and a whole folder wasnt there!!! I think, when developing it i may have left it on private when i needed to change it to public. That was rather annoying as all the uploading i had done into that folder (which was the one id done the most work in) wasnt accessible. Therefore i had to log in, delte it and start again because i couldnt find a way to edit it. That task was a little tedious as i was re-doing work i had already completed.

Other than that everything is going fine... ill be back to do some more e-portfolio work on Sunday night so see you then!

Also will have to check with Ellen about adding her to our friends list. I did something like that last week but im not sure it worked...?

Also ive had a look at peoples eportfolio from the other class, and theirs look more professional than ours! They are only a little different but still look a little better.

I feel i am on track and wont be rushing to have the eportfolio ready on time.

Will post again tomorrow in class.

I also read on UTS online that we are supposed to be reflecting on our learning throughout the subject, i suppose that bit just slipped my mind so ill reflect a little now...

Being strongly incapable of anything difficut on computers and having a history of giving up as soon as thing get hard computer-wise, i didnt have much hope for this subject to begin with.

Although i can see the advantages of having an eportfolio, it is not someting i would have developed without this subject. I still do not feel 100% certain about placing my detatils on the internet for all to read, i do appreciate the ability to select private if we wish.

I also can see that people who are more computer minded than myself would enjoy setting up this site as they can develop it themselves etc. Even i have enjoyed it a little, once i worked out how to set it out and upload items. The site is rather straight forward and isnt too confusing. However the mac computers in our classroom are rather annoying so i plan to do most of it on my home computer.

So over the next week i will continue to develop my eportfolio to reflect myself.

i will write more entries later (tomorrow if youre lucky)
