The word “discussion” and/or “conversation” captures the way this class has been going.

The Grant-Davie, Stuart Greene, and Henry Jenkins responses and summaries, along with the

first introductory discussion post is tied together by the word “discussion.” Each one of these

assignments relates to conversations taking place and allows us to take place in them too. The

first discussion post is one of the many conversations we participate in in this class.

To capture and highlight this word and theme in my ePortfolio, I will bring up this point

in my reflection of the course. I will show how discussion and conversation was a something us

students had in common with each other through out the whole course. I hope my design choices

fit with the theme of discussion and conversation. I’m going to choose a travel/mountain theme.

Like the mountains and traveling, the discussions taking place in this class are vast. Each one us

chose a different community and researched it, exposing us to a vast array of conversations.

Then, we shared them to each other in the discussion post. With my mountain/travel design, I

hope to capture the scope of the discussion.

The website creation tool I am choosing is Weebly.com. I decided to go with this one

because 1) the student sample examples given to us used Weebly and I became familiar with it

that way, 2) After reviewing the other creation tools and visiting Weebly, I can tell that Weebly

will be relatively easy to navigate and use, and 3) I have heard good things about Weebly and

they had pretty good and decent star ratings. The theme I hope to express with my ePortfolio is

discussion and conversation we all took place in, whether in the responses or discussion posts. In

Weebly, there is a mountain design/theme that I want to use to represent the vast discussion that

took place in the course. Therefore, I thought Weebly would best describe my work in the class.

As I’ve previously said, I don’t have much experience with ePortfolios. So, to maximize the
capabilities of my choice, I will ask people who are familiar with Weebly for some pointers and

also go to the Weebly support center.
