We are all charting our way through new territory, namely e-portfolio submission! I know candidates have mixed feelings about this process. Some are excited, especially about the extended deadline (May 31, 2013) while others are very nervous about this process. National Board is committed to helping you. Please do not hesitate to call 1-800-22-TEACH with questions, concerns, or issues.
CERRA is also committed to trying to help. Unfortunately, we are having to learn the process as we go. Some NB liaisons have started to share their experiences helping candidates submit their work. I will share this information as I receive it.
This first set of comments and reminders comes from Meike McDonald, NB Liaison in Charleston. Thanks Meike!
Have you tried uploading videos or entries yet???????? It takes about 45 minutes to upload a video and when you do upload something it takes about a day for it to be registered and downloaded to the NB site.
For now, you can upload whatever you want and still not submit it...you must click a huge green button to submit. For now, you are simply storing the information on the NB server. You can take it down, change it, reload it etc.
There are codes and various things you must use.
One person suggested using a MAC to merge the pdf files since it was so much easier than a PC.
Entry 4 will take the longest and may be the hardest to upload. While everything is being uploaded, you can't click on anything until it is saved on the NB server (so upload and give it some time to transfer).
Good luck!
