Web Portfolios (4 points)

5.  Following are links to web portfolios of student teachers.  I have not been able to find a lot of web portfolios by student teachers.  You may find that some of these are outdated.  One of the problems with putting web pages on the web is keeping them updated. For whatever reasons, some students leave their portfolios on the web and never update them or remove them.  With that being said, critique the following portfolios for design more that "updating."

  • Visit at least one student teacher portfolio in each of the following four links. 

  • Write the name of the site, the name of the University, the name of the student, and a 3 to 5 sentence critique (opinion) of each portfolio that you visited.
