How to Submit Your Work:
Save your file to your P: Drive in the appropriate folder (using the name outlined above). Once saved to your P: Drive, upload it to the private Dropbox folder that I have shared with you. The folder will have your name on it.
How to Set Up Your Dropbox Account
1. I will create a folder in Dropbox and then invite you (via email) to share the folder. This will serve as a portfolio throughout the semester. I will grade and comment on your papers in this private folder. DO NOT SEND YOUR PAPERS TO ME THROUGH EMAIL.
2. Open the email and click “view” to sign up for your account.
3. If you have never used Dropbox before, you will then be asked to sign up. It’s free. None of the other students will be able to see your work, your grade, or my comments.
4. Once you sign up, you will see a little red box that lets you know I’ve shared something with you. This is your Web Design I Portfolio. All of your work should be saved to this file!
