Carbonmade

This is an online portfolio creation site. Typically used for graphic artists or designers to showcase their work, it also provides the novice with an opportunity in establishing experience setting up a first portfolio. The user friendly format allows someone with very little knowledge of design to import photos or graphics. All you have to do is click "add" and your portfolio comes alive before your eyes. For visual learners this is a great tool and could be used in a variety of ways in the classroom. Carbonmade could be used as a performance assessment tool, also. The site has a feature that hides your portfolio from the public which makes it secure for students. This tutorial will guide you through the basic portfolio setup but there are more advanced features as your expertise grows.
