Create Digital Portfolios in Google Sites

Learn how to set up e-portfolios in Google Sites. In this week's education technology tutorial, Sam Kary of The New EdTech Classroom shows you how to create electronic portfolios that students can use to reflect on their work and showcase what they’ve done throughout the year. Google Sites is an ideal program for setting up e-portfolios because it’s relatively easy for students to use, and each individual portfolio that a student makes using Sites can be linked back to a class webpage where everyone can check out each other’s portfolios.

Although it takes a little bit of work to set them up, once you’ve done so, you’ll have a central location for all your students to showcase their work in e-portfolios that are fully customizable for each student. Having students reflect on their work will encourage self-awareness skills and help invest them in the work they do for your class. Plus, by having them build portfolios in Sites, you’ll be having them practice technology skills in an authentic way. And lastly, students will be able to use their portfolios during student-led conferences, where they can share what they’ve learned with their families.

Thank you! This is such an amazing tutorial. I happen to need to create a homeschool portfolio and wanted an easy digital option. It's such a great option to have my son get involved in creating it too.

Thank you, Sam for another great tutorial! Can’t wait to have students work on their own. First, I would like to try doing one for myself...

Thank you for the brilliant video! Would like to find out how to save the Google Sites pages as a PDF for submission, please.

Thank you for sharing this invaluable video clip. I'm thinking about creating my own teaching and learning portfolio using Google Sites and I could use your advice. Do you suggest this platform for teachers and their public "teaching portfolio" as well? Kind of like a resume + their reflections on their experiences and their contributions to the field. What do you think about it? :) Sherry.

Thank you so much for this. I would love to do this in secondary education but I would need to make sure that each students portfolio is private. Would they have access to their portfolio after the class is done?

I am trying to create a repository for my students to house their resume, philosophy statement etc. thank you so much for this!

This was really helpful! I think this would be a great tool for AP students to refer to during review.

[azharafoore]

Great video! Is there a way to make a Google site template for students? I'm asking for specific components to be added, so I'm thinking it might be easy to have the pages already set up for them, but I'm not sure how to implement that.

I am trying to share my site without making it public, but my school is not on google classroom. How do I share the site or URL if the instructor doesn't have a google address?

[drsushithp]

Thank you for a wonderful video. I would like to know if as a teacher we can certify a specific task or competency that the student has performed in class and it has been entered in the portfolio. Like with a signature of the teacher with date.
Thanks in advance - Dr Sushith.
