Evaluations (5 points).
This work spans 3 days and is due by midnight on Thursday of week 11 (Finals week).
11.1 Recap the course in a Blog Post.
Think back to 10 weeks ago when you started this course. What were you expecting and did you meet those expectations?
- Login to your Wordpress site and click the My Site button to get to the Dashboard.
- Click on the Blog Posts Add button.
- Title the Post to briefly describe the topic.
- Write a paragraph about your topic:
- List all the technical skills you learned.
- Note new concepts and theories you learned about.
- Discuss how you plan to use your new knowledge in the future.
- Will you continue to use your website after the term ends? Or after graduation?
- Will you use listening tools, screenshots, PDF files, spreadsheets, embedded media, and hyperlinks to communicate online in the future?
- Check grammar and spelling.
- Click the Category button and choose the Gender & Technology.
- Click the Publish button.
11.2. Export Wordpress Data.
So that you have a complete backup of Posts and Pages of your website, export that data to a backup file. While you are still logged into Wordpress:
- Click the Settings button.
- Click the Export button.
- Click the Export All button.
- Check for an email message from your website and click the download link within 7 days to save the file to your hard drive.
Note that the images and files in the Media Library will not be exported with the data file. They do already exist on your hard drive (if you followed previous instructions).
Copy all image, PDF, and data export files to your Google Drive for safe keeping.
In the future, you can use your website for other purposes:
- Promote skills and knowledge in your field of study.
- Post other projects in the Pages area.
- Add your resume to a Page.
- When you update your resume next, be sure to add Wordpress configuration and editing as a skill!
- Keep friends and family updated with frequent blog Posts.
