Create a Google Site Portfolio : A Step-by-Step Guide
Reflection
1. What is the purpose of the project you created and how do you think the piece achieves its purpose?
The purpose of my project is to teach viewers how to create a professional portfolio using Google Sites. The video achieves this by providing clear, step-by-step instructions, accompanied by screen recordings, captions, and voiceover narration. These combined elements make the process easy to follow and help users feel confident using the platform.
2. Who is the audience? How did this impact your choice of medium?
My target audience is students and early-career professionals who need a straightforward, visual guide to creating an online portfolio. I chose video because it allows me to demonstrate each action on screen, which is more effective than text alone for showing how to navigate Google Sites. The medium also supports different learning styles through visuals, audio, and captions.
3. What else would you like your instructor to know when evaluating this project?
I kept the video short and practical, focusing on the key steps beginners need. I added captions, background music, and kept the pace steady to keep viewers interested. I still want to improve the transitions and timing, but I’m happy with how clearly the video explains each part.
