Web 2.0-application www.carbonmade.com is a web 2.0 application that archives one’s work and offers a template on how to present one’s work to the cyber public. Each member can upload one’s work to the www.carbonmade.com site and use their template on how to present their work to the cyber community. This can act as an individual e-portfolio of one’s work, with a clear template on how to represent oneself.
As depicted in the photo, one can have a user name, email contact, geographical location, phone listing, and a personal message about oneself. In addition, one can add areas of expertise, such as a prose resume, as well as a skills section to highlight one’s skills.
I think this web 2.0 applications is a great example of offering a template on how to professionally offer one’s abilities on the web.
As a teacher of technology, I think the www.carbonmade.com is a good resource to start off for students learning to archive and promote their individual work on the World Wide Web.
Students can showcase their writing and upload pictures to further showcase their experience within their specific area of interest. However, I feel that a traditional website can offer more individual control of image and contact to individual experience one’s has to offer,
As an educator who has experienced web applications, I observe this application to be more of a starting point for students to archive their work and not an application that grows with the students, as they develop more technological approaches in using the World Wide Web.
