They will have the opportunity to research careers, colleges/schools, interview professionals, prepare for a job interview, set professional goals, learn new technologies and reflecting on what they are learning. Practice// making informed decisions about those careers //. During the first days of this class they will design an electronic-portfolio where they will post all the information that they will find and create. They will be able to continue updating this information throughout their High School career and after in preparation for their career.//

I have each student create a [|free website] where they will make their electronic or e-portfolio. There are many free websites. Students this year will be creating a website through their google account. Students should do their work on a __gdoc__ (google document), or a word document that they can backup and post easily to their e-portfolio. Gmail is more then just an email, it offers you word documents, spreadsheets, power point presentations. It also allows you to share your documents with others, as viewers, or allows them to collaborate on a document.
