Unit 4 reflection
This unit was focused on the creation of our personal web folios. I targeted the mine towards future employers in hopes of attaining my career goals. Creating the web folio gave me a great sense of accomplishment as I was able to look back and see the sheer amount of content that had been created over the term. At the beginning of the course, I struggled in learning how to navigate and create my own content using WordPress. An obstacle was on how to review my past works in presenting them in the best way possible to make the reader navigate easily through the tabs and pages. I wanted to format the pages so that the hyperlinks were not mixed into the text and were clear to the reader.
Having many of the assignments near completion from previous units helped in the final assembly of the web folio. Reworking the site, editing assignments, and creating new content were the main obstacles in this final unit. After I had already made the changes to my works according to my peer reviews, I had trouble finding the mistakes that I had missed before handing them off to be peer reviewed. From previous assignments, I tried to pay more attention to the layout and organization of the web folio in order to have links be easily accessible and clearly visible.
The final assignment was the creation of my web folio to showcase my work and progress. This was the first time I have ever created a web folio and would have never guessed it would be such an effective professional platform. I had never used WordPress before this course, and learning it was challenging for me. After completing my web folio, I will not be restricted in being able to update and improve my site to fit my current needs. My web folio is the conclusion to my ENGL 301 term and the culmination of a terms worth of work. I know that the skills learned using the site and thinking about how to organize it will help me later on.
