How do I organize my portfolio (folder)?

When beginning the creation of your digital portfolio it's a good idea to create a central location that
will store all of your files and artifacts in one location. Here is an example to better illustrate this
concept.
1. Start by creating a folder and labeling it with a descriptor to identify it.
It is a good idea to put this folder in a location that you can easily access and will be safe. One major
advantage for this folder is that you can store this on your BSU iLocker or even flash drive and work
on your portfolio on any Macintosh with Rapidweaver. By using the BSU iLocker storage you have
the piece of mind that should your computer hard drive become unreadable your portfolio and it’s
contents are safe and accessible.
2. Inside of your portfolio folder your need to create subfolders to store and organize your files.
The “Documents” folder will be used to save any MS Word or PDF’s in. The “Images” folder will be
used to save any photo’s or graphics you use. The “MultiMedia” folder will be used to save video,
audio, or PowerPoint Slides in. Your RapidWeaver project file will be save in this folder as well.
In the event that you need to create multiple web sites you may want to create folders for each web
site mimicking the folder structure we just created. For example, I have a course titled TC101 and
TC250, I would create folders for each of these courses, then I would create the Documents, Images,
and Multimedia folders with in them.
