Additional pages are allowed and may be necessary to appropriately convey content. Any additional pages must meet the general site requirements, that are detailed below:
General requirements for the site include:
DO NOT INCLUDE PERSONAL CONTACT INFORMATION: Although the site is password protected, our school boards policy on website is that it cannot contain any personal information of the individual. Please do not include any of this information on your site.
Details about each required page are as follows:
Home Page:

Blog Page:
This is your CTP: Stay Up to Date
Grading:
Your final score on this project will be based on the overall quality of the individual sections/pages of your Website, your adherence to general guidelines and requirements, and quality of design and creativity.
Since this is part of your CPT, therefore part of your final evaluation, consistent effort should be evident throughout your site.
Your site is due at the BEGINNING of the first day of your Practical Exam. The site can be accessed from home and at school. If you are caught up in your term work and have "down time", you should take advantage of this time to work on your site. Limited class time will be given to work on your site. Waiting at the door or logging off your machine before the bell is not a good use of class-time. This time should be put towards working on your CPT. This observation will be taken into consideration when I see the effort put forth into your ePorfolio.
Your site should consist of at least 10 pages, of which should include four main sections:
- Home page
- Portfolio page - which can be broken down into sub-pages for each area of study
