Helpful Tips

Setting up Your Electronic Portfolio using the free website at weebly.com. Please ignore the prompts in the video that tell you to go to education.weebly.com. The education site is no longer active, so please go to weebly.com to login.

  • 1. Once you start playing a video, you might want to click on the arrows icon at the bottom right of the video window to view the video full screen!

    2. If you print this handout, it will be very helpful for you as you are setting up your portfolio.

    3. You will need to view the two headers below and save one of them to your hard drive for use in your portfolio.

    4. Open the Educator Certification Portfolio Submission template (also referred to as the ISTE portfolio slide deck). Click “USE TEMPLATE” in the top right hand corner and it will save automatically to your Google Drive. You will build out this portfolio in ITEC 7500; however, you can edit the slide deck throughout the program and place screenshots of implementing the standards with students and educators into the slide deck. For images and instructions on how to insert this slide deck onto your “Portfolio” tab of Weebly, please reference this helpful job aid.

    5. Open a new tab in your Internet browser and go to weebly.com. All work in setting up your portfolio should be free. You should NOT have to pay for anything. 

    6. Weebly is always making updates, so the videos may not match exactly (Ex: Themes may change. Just find a similar one with menus at the top). Regardless of changes, the videos should be very helpful!
