Web Page

This was simple since I had little to do. I don't know if I did it right or not, but I thought that it seemed pretty easy. I don't understand for sure how to add elements or if I need to, but I found it easy to create.

FTP

I found this very difficult. Since I was attempting to complete this portion of the assignment when I attached my photostory to the blog, I am just attempting to complete it on the due date. This was however not possilbe from my computer. It would not prompt me log into the ftp website. It continually told me that the page I was requesting was unavailable.

Photo Story Introduction

I enjoyed using photostory. I think that it was fun to record my voice and choose music as background. I was a little disappointed that I had to download the software and that it didn't come on our computer. The most difficult part was trying to figure out how to post it to a website and aquire a URL. Overall I enjoyed the software. It seemed a bit easier to navigate than powerpoint for younger students.

Job Resources

It didn't take me much time to decide which links to place for my job resources, it just took more time to get the placed correctly. I am interested in Washington County and have been trying to get a teaching position there for the past two years, so it was a no brainer to include. With my current and past teaching experience in WV, I frequently check that page for info. I helped me find and interview for multiple jobs which I was offered, but have turned down. The third site I included was Teachers-Teachers. I enjoy using many of its features and have also found jobs that seemed perfect for me. I have actually made contact with districts and interviewed for positions, so although some think its a hoax, I have had success. Its definately the place to go when considered relocating and checking the job market for the prospective area.

Cover Letter

It was a little hard for me to complete. I have completed many cover letters but I have had job descriptions in front of me to write about. This cover letter is very general and will need some adaptations and revisions before I could use it to complete an application for a job using it.

Resume

I had already completed a resume and keep it updated. The hardest part of this assignment was creating the link. I had a little trouble and concern with importing my resume from my computer to google documents. I have been told by a police officer friend how this can allow people more competent using google sites to have access to everyone on you computer and all sorts of information about you. But I think I have been successful at completing the assignment.

Confused

I had a relaxing weekend, however, I'm so confused about posting to this blog. I attempted to add links to job search sites, and I can see them through the layout page, but they do not show up in my blog. I hope this seems to fall into place and become easier.
