Student ePortfolio Tool

How I Use It

We use Google Sites as the tool of choice for our student ePortfolios. In specific, students are using their individually created Google Site to warehouse work and reflections. The site template was created centrally and duplicated for all students to make the transition easy. Our students all have GAFE (Google Apps for Education) accounts which makes this feasible, and also very easy for them to upload work from. The setup of the sites that we use makes it so that all reflection pages are organized in the "Announcement" format to set up their individual portfolios in an organized blog-like format within each subject area. This approach has been piloted with students in our district for quite a few years in our World Language department, and now is being spread across all disciplines with a focus on growth in specific areas within each discipline.
