Personalizing your eportfolio accounts

Once you’ve set up your eportfolio account and joined our course site,  don’t forget to do a little house-keeping  to make sure you’re all set up here:

1) On the dashboard, click on your name (to the right of “Howdy”) in the upper-right corner of the screen.  make sure that you select your full name (ex: “Fiona Lee”) from the drop-down menu next to “display name publicly as” (you want your posts to be signed with your full name, not your username)

2) In the same screen, also change your password to protect the privacy of your account.  make sure to jot down your username and password somewhere so you can log into your ePortfolio account in the future (you will be using this throughout your years at Macaulay).

3) Add an image of yourself (preferable a head-shot) so that we get to know one another more quickly.  To do this, go to “my account” (top left of screen, in the grey menu bar) and choose “profile” and then “change avatar.”  you can then upload picture that will travel around with you on site. Feel free to use the self-portraits you created for your first week’s assignment for this.
