**Welcome**

This writing portfolio is meant to reflect who I am as a writer as well as a teacher of writing. I have included pieces I have created as a writer and a teacher, as well as a sample of student writing. A common theme seen throughout my artifacts is how I overcome various obstacles and eventually create a piece of work in which I have pride. The genre of my portfolio is also a component of my portfolio because it provides me with the opportunity to experiment with a new form of technology. One major part of the website I am proud of is my integration of the program Scribd. I have seen this program used on other Wikis, but have never had the chance to use this application. I had no trouble uploading my documents to Scribd, but I was not able to embed the documents into my site. After playing around with the Wiki, and much trial and error, I found the application I needed in order to correctly embed the code of my documents. Using Scribd is a big achievement for me because I worked with an unfamiliar program and worked through the glitches and nuances.
