Below are tutorials for creating a FREE
E-Portfolio website using Google Sites. If you are a student of
Professor Stein's in either a "Live" or "Online", distance learning
course format, you most probably have been asked to create your own
E-portfolio site.
Please DO NOT become overwhelmed!
Help will be
provided by classmates in Blackboard (typically in either a BB
Discussion Board Forum E-portfolio or by asking questions in BB
Discussion Board FAQ forum. In "Live" classes your professor and
classmates will assist. Video conference can be arranged with
Professor Stein as well ( very cool).

STEP
1- Create a NEW Gmail Account and complete the form
below.
1. First you will
need a to create a NEW Gmail - FREE account (see below) at
Gmail.com in a specific format.
It is important to know that the email is not intended to be used
for email but rather to create a website, upload documents, show
video and so much more. Your NEW Gmail address is the key to
new world on the Internet.
Directions for Touro College - Students and Staff:
Create a gmail account in the form
touro+firstletterfirstnamelastname@gmail.com

(note no ".", caps or spaces).
IMPORTANT: During the creation process at gmail you will be asked to
supply an alternate email address.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE ENTER
abriteguy@aol.com
-INACTIVE LINK
In this way I will automatically receive confirmation that your
account was created.

www.gmail.com
and choose "Sign-up for Gmail" and follow directions.
AFTER
creating the above account please complete the following Online Form

3. What would be my Domain? When I create my e-portfolio site
how can others view it?
After creating a site ( step 2 above) you may ask others to view
your site from anywhere in the world!
It would
be located at:
For Students: student.webhop.org/add the first part of your gmail
address (do not include the @gmail.com)
For Faculty: faculty.webhop.org/tourorlehrer
Example:
If your name is Ronald Lehrer (Note Dr. Ronald Lehrer is Touro
Faculty
His gmail would be
tourorlehrer@gmail.com
The site he created is tourorlehrer (make sure you do NOT include @gmail.com)
You can view the site you just created at
http://faculty.webhop.org/tourorlehrer .
This is his domain!
If you
are a student your Domain or location would be at student.webhop.org/touro+firstletterfirstnamelastname

Here is where it gets difficult....because you can go in many
directions to accomplish many goals.

compete with classmates to create the BEST Teaching SIte with videos
of others, your own video lessons and MORE....
Many

add
graphics to a page,
-
create new pages, add links (where you click a word and it takes
you someplace or opens a file),
-
Embed video from Youtube.com (so that the video appears on your
page but really it is located on youtube.com so that you do NOT
OWN IT), and MORE...
For a sample of embedded video use the links below
