The Platform I have chose to use for E-Portfolio is WIX. I had decided to go with WIX after reviewing the two articles posted in the schedule, and learning that WIX had better reviews than the two other alternatives. Furthermore Prof. O’Hara had said that WIX is becoming more and more popular among student use, which further gives me confidence in WIX’s ability to present a good looking E-portfolio, while also being easy to use.
As for the purpose of My E-Portfolio, I was thinking about diving into the topic of Masculinity, and the toxicity as well as the benefits of what it means to be masculine. The possible audience for this topic could be anyone, although it could be aimed towards young men in general. I feel like in todays society masculinity gets a bad rap and is only described as toxic. While there is plenty of toxic masculinity, I would like to show the other side of masculinity. For tabs, I would first address toxic masculinity and give a few examples. The next few tabs would go through multiple aspects of masculinity that are beneficial. Some aspects I would address would be the drinking culture and suppression of emotions associated with masculinity. As for the benefits, I will be looking at diffrent types of sports, professions, and characteristics that are perceived as masculine, and how they are beneficial to not only a young mans growth, but also a young woman’s. At the end of the E-portfolio I would look at the brotherhoods that are created within a masculine society, and how it can be a gateway for men to become more feminine
Hey Cole! I’m also choosing to use WIX, so hopefully it’ll work out well for both of us!
In terms of your focus, I’m a little confused about the artifacts you’d include. Do you have projects you’ve done in the past that relate to masculinity? Otherwise I’m worried you be giving yourself a lot of extra work.
Sounds like a good idea, but what artifacts of your own would you want to include in order to showcase your own work?
I’ve noticed that the majority of the comments share a concern about the project, and I find myself echoing that. Do you have any prior projects that you’d be able to display on the portfolio? Which of your own artifacts are you planning to use?
I am also quite confused about the continent that would be put into the e-portfolio and its relationship to you. I think this would be a great website to create I just worry that it does not meet the requirements for the specific assignment here.
I think this could be interesting if you’re very invested in the topic, however I am not sure what kind of audience you’d aim it towards. Additionally, I’d be concerned about being able to present enough artifacts to make it a substantial portfolio of your work, unless of course you have pieces we are unaware of from your other classes or commitments.
