Starting to work on portfolio

I have decided to start working on my portfolio write-ups, and began rereading the syllabus. There are so many things I have forgotten were the objective of the projects, while there were others I have incorporated unconsciously. I realized that I made an effort to collaborate on some projects, mostly because it is a part of the course. Otherwise, I would make a decision and get things done by myself without planning. For example, I started a blog with Andrea on wordpress. We didn't really have a direction so I didn't really know what to put in it, and gave up trying to figure out how to use Wordpress. I ended up creating a website on there for my case study and got acquainted with it, even teaching another friend to use it. And now, I've filled up so many entries in this blog. This really confirmed my reflection on blogging - that I needed a goal/ intention/ purpose to create content, and not be wasteful. (I know that is still a very vague term in this class). Well, here is another entry I can include in my portfolio!

Case Study x ______???

I am thinking of presenting my case study as one of the Portfolio items, such as a small scale website. Website:

Pros - easy and quick
- I am interested in this format

Cons - hard to divide into sections/pages
- I won't learn much from it

or alternatively, Podcasting :

Pros - fun, something new
- learning process

Cons- unfamiliar

consideration: already planning a podcast of another topic with classmate

Or, a Film Production:

Pros - I have friends familiar with filming and editing
- a collective collaboration
- fun

Cons - time consuming

Maybe having some actual research info to start off with would help me decide.

Reboot!

First PC class post strike, and we talked about the portfolios. Blogging has always been a second nature to me, so I will pick this up first. Today I copied some of the posts I had on another blog into here, to start myself off.

I added a widget on the side to keep track of which projects I have done, and linked them to posts that talk about it. So, all the items other than Bibliography will link to this post first. It seems a bit redundant seeing as the Topics/Labels widget would perform the same function. I just thought I could keep track easier when I write up my portfolio.
