indeed saving your new documents in the correct place.
A. DOWNLOADING THE MSU ELECTRONIC TEACHER PORTFOLIO TEMPLATES TO
YOUR DISK/COMPUTER.
If working on campus:
- It is helpful to download the portfolio directly into the
web folder in
your z drive. Otherwise, download to the desktop, then drag the folder
into the web folder in your z drive.
- Click here
to download the MSU Electronic Teacher Portfolio
templates.
This will arrive on your computer as a file called portfolio_templates.zip.
- Double-click on this .zip file to unzip the contents into a
folder called portfolio_templates that will contain multiple files and
folders. If the .zip file does not unzip automatically, you may need to
open the file with a program that unzips files. Ask a computer lab monitor for
assistance if needed. You can throw out the original
zipped file after unzipping the contents--keep the new folder called
"portfolio templates."
If working off campus:
- Click here
to download the MSU Electronic Teacher Portfolio
templates.
This will arrive on your computer as a file called portfolio_templates.zip.
- Double-click on this .zip file to unzip the contents into a
folder called portfolio_templates that will contain multiple files and
folders. If the .zip file does not unzip automatically, you may need to
open the file with a program that unzips files. You can throw out the
original
zipped file after unzipping the contents--keep the new folder called
"portfolio templates."
- Move the new "portfolio templates" folder onto your jump
drive (thumb drive, vault, etc). After working on the pages,
SAVE.
- When on campus, move the entire "portfolio templates"
folder into the web folder of your campus Z drive.
- Remember to save off campus and "replace" the old folder in
your z drive with the new (revised) one each time you have made
revisions to your portfolio.
B. DOWNLOADING THE
FREE SEAMONKEY COMPOSER (WEB PAGE EDITOR).
