Answer to a Frequently Asked Question

Digital Portfolio Files

Here are some highly useful information and templates for getting started with your digital portfolio. For the templates, you are encouraged to use them and to "make them your own." To download these files, right-mouse on the appropriate link to bring up a pull-down menu. Then select the option that says something like "save link as ..." or "download to disk ..." to save it to your computer.

Of course, you know that your real starting point for your digital portfolio is the information included in the SAU portfolio manual, yes?

• "Getting Started With Your Digital Portfolio", 2/28/05 (Adobe Acrobat format, 256 kB)
• SAU standards matrix worksheet based on Excel (47 kB)
• SAU digital portfolio storyboard based on Inspiration (36 kB)
• SAU digital portfolio template based on PowerPoint (89 kB); Be sure to check out Atomic Learning's PowerPoint tutorials for tips on how to do links and text formatting with PowerPoint.
• SAU digital portfolio template based on web pages (Dreamweaver ready, 117kB; you can also use these with FrontPage, GoLive, and other web page editing software)

Remember that you can get technical advice for using programs such as PowerPoint, Dreamweaver, Excel, and Inspiration by going to Atomic Learning; you can get right in from the SAU campus, and you need a login and password from off-campus (contact the Help Desk for this information). You will need some speakers/headphones and the free Quick-Time player to use this site.
