Reflection on You.com




Creating a digital portfolio wasn’t an easy task for me at all.  First finding a site that I found not only appealing but also easy to navigate was the key.  Second, I wasn’t sure what I wanted the site to portray.  Third, where was I going to get all of the things I have done at the conclusion of my 4th Wilkes graduate class?

I finally settled on using Wix.com.  This was a great choice it had several options to display my site, which I loved.  Wix was also very user friendly site to access and to create.  I had no difficulty link websites, adding images and text throughout.  I would highly recommend Wix to anyone who is first creating a website for any purpose.

What did I want to include on my website was a difficult task for me overall?  I personally don’t like to give out too much personal information on the Internet whenever possible.  Especially when that information can be accessed publically by anyone.  So, I went with keeping my site professional based on works I have completed in my graduate course as well as some help things I use regularly within my math classes I teach.

Finally, my biggest challenge was compiling as many of my works I had completed as possible.  Unfortunately, I haven’t been very organized in keeping these items in a central location.  This project has forced me to take most of these pieces I have created and organize them and also give me a central location at which to access them for the future.

In the end, this project has been very useful and rewarding to me educationally.  I always look for ways in my graduate courses to have works that I can use in the future.  This project is another example of something I will get great use out of in the future.
