  • Sharing LiveText Portfolios with Prospective Employers (Word file)
    This article discusses 4 ways of sharing LiveText portfolios with prospective employers: (A) making your portfolio “public”, (B) creating a visitor’s pass, (C) saving your portfolio to portable media, and (D) printing your portfolio. Before you take any of the routes, you should first customize your portfolio so that they become employment-oriented portfolios, which will be discussed in Section II.
  • Reuse LiveText documents: creating LiveText links.

 

Understanding LiveText

  • LiveText is a database with Web interface. A database allows one to store and retrieve data (text, image, audio, video, etc.). You interact with this database through the World Wide Web.

  • LiveText is used for documenting teacher candidate academic achievement.

  • A LiveText document has to have at least one page; a page has to have at least one section.

  • Content must be entered in sections. Pages are simply section-holders, and documents are page-holders.

  • LiveText documents have the view mode, edit mode, and review mode. In the view mode one can only read. To edit a document, one has to enter the edit mode; to add comments, one has to enter the review mode.

  • More to come...
