I was actually fairly happy with the simple website that I created for step one of our Web Portfolio project, but I know I can make it even better with the use of KompoZer. It will also be a lot easier!

It helps me to understand the project by looking at your site map. You have a lot of info to put on the web, but what is the overall argument or point you're trying to make about yourself?
I didn't actually realize that we were supposed to have an overall argument about ourselves until after I created my site map. I don't know what I was thinking while I read the assignment, but I obviously wasn't paying attention. I guess my goal would be for people to see that I am really well-rounded. I know that teaching jobs are hard to come by in this area, so I want to be able to stand out, and I think that have various extra abilities will put me above someone else who may just have an education certificate. I want to show that I can do more than just teach English.
This is very detailed and will make for a very interesting website. You dont have to include very much about yourself, just something to prove that you have a professional status at something.
BethAnne, I feel your site makes a good argument that you can do more than just teach English. Your site says there are many different skills you possess.
Careful with that Kompozer... It's not as great as it makes itself out to be :(
