Final Portfolio Directions

As we are now past the midpoint of the term; it is time to begin organizing our work in a final portfolio. We will begin this process this week and continue to build this document until the first week of May. As you can see some of these assignments are not yet complete, we will add them to the portfolio as we complete them.

 You should create a folder on your flash drive titled IT 365 Final Portfolio. Everything you will add to your portfolio will be in this folder. This is important so that your documents can be linked electronically and so that all parts can be easily copied to a CD that you will turn in with your project. Do not save your files in random locations since you will have to locate them and move them to the portfolio folder to burn them to the CD.

You will need a notebook not larger than 1 inch (1/2 inch should work fine) with a clear pocket on the front. You will place a cover sheet in this pocket. A second copy of the cover sheet should be placed as the first page of the portfolio inside the notebook.

You also need a set of eight tabs, a permanent marker, a CD RW (read/write) with a jewel case and a small braded envelope to place in the back of the notebook to hold the CD This should be a small 5 by 7 braded envelope that you will punch holes in so that it is attached to the notebook by the notebook rings or brads. I should be able to open the envelope to retrieve the CD without having to tear the envelope so select a braded style or one with a closure that can be refastened. The permanent marker is so you can label your CD (fine point Sharpe works well)

Do not spend a lot of money on office supplies; I do not score your work on office supplies. You do not need to include color printouts since we do not have a color printer in the lab. I do not want large notebooks because these are difficult to store. These portfolios will not be returned. Please make a duplicate for your own use.
