A PowerPoint Presentation
A website

5. Multimedia photos of class engaged in activities student papers
a video clip of you in action
Audio (mp3) recording (philosophy statement)

6. Recommendations
For documents, convert docs to pdfs so they cannot be digitally altered.
For Powerpoints, SAVE-AS: Powerpoint Show, so, again, it cannot be easily altered.
Think out-of-the box: Use different media and presentation tools (Prezio, Voicethreads, etc.)
Create free website:
