Design

In my digital portfolio I will make many different varieties of designs. The more I will make different designs in my digital portfolio, the nicer it will look. Here are my designs that I will make in my digital portfolio.

1. first I will put many different varieties of pictures such as : pictures about my self, friends and my family


2. Second I will create some designs on the edge of each page. For example: flowers, stars, balloons ….


3. Third thing I will put colorful backgrounds such as: pink, blue, red…

4. Changing the font. Foe example: bubbly font, comic font….

5. Changing the color font. Any color I want. such as: pink,brown,orange and so on


All of these steps could help make my digital portfolio looks very attractive and beautiful.

Investigating software options for creating a digital portfolio:

the first option is the front page
The third option is the html.
the second option the dream weaver


Each one of these options helps me create a digital portfolio. The front page helps me create a digital portfolio because it crates and maintain web pages which suites to my needs –without learning Html. Also because web templates shared borders for navigation, categories control, and apply themes.

HTML, short for Hypertext Markup Language it provides a means to describe the structure of text –based information in a document by denoting certain text as headings ,paragraphs ,lists, and so on … And to supplement that text with interactive forms , embedded images and other objects. HTML is written in the form of labels (known as tags), surrounded by angle brackets.

Dream weaver, is a web development tool originally created by Macromedia (now part of Adobe Systems). The software is available for both the Mac and Windows platforms. Dream weaver is currently owned by Adobe Systems, which acquired Macromedia in 2005. Dreamweaver can hide the details of pages' HTML code from the user, making it possible for non-coders to create web pages and sites. Dreamweaver allows users to preview websites in many browsers, provided that they are installed on their computer. It also has some site management tools, such as the ability to find and replace lines of text or code by whatever parameters specified across the entire site, and a templatization feature for creating multiple pages with similar structures. The behaviors panel also enables use of basic JavaScript without any coding knowledge.

The three important features in a digital portfolio are that:
A portfolio is a purposeful collection of student work that tells the story of a student's personal self and a student's achievement.
Portfolios may demonstrate a wide range of student work and it also allows teachers and parents to share a real display of a student's performance without interpretation of test scores.
Portfolios provide a natural medium for teacher-pupil discussions and the customization of individual learning experiences and goals

One advantage and one disadvantage of a digital portfolio:

Advantage: Portfolios in digital format can be easily and inexpensively reproduced therefore materials can be made available to a wider audience e.g., burning onto CD-ROM. Portability: Easier to transport than hard copy versions.

Disadvantage: The creation of digital portfolios requires advanced knowledge and skills and sometimes expensive, high-tech equipment. Viewing a digital portfolio sometimes requires special software as well as additional knowledge and skills on the part of the viewer.

This is a student digital portfolio that I had chosen
International School Dhakahttp://www.isdweblogs.org/digitalportfolio/

The strengths of this portfolio are that it contains a lot of good information about his school. It is very neat and organized and it is also well-planned. He named all the students in his grade which something good.


The weakness of this portfolio is that he didn’t put any pictures about himself or his friends he only named them, there weren’t a lot of designs and he didn’t told us what subjects he was involved in for example( math ,science….) and he also didn’t show us his work or his activities that he was involved in .

MY Comments:
In order to gain high marks he must be more creative for (ex: more designs, more pictures…) as well as he must tells us more about himself and his activities during his lessons or subjects in his school.
