Turbo Tuesday - March 2015

Student Portfolios with Google Sites

"Many academic programs require students to create a portfolio, and the results can be dazzling. Susan Quinn will show you how some students have created exceptional e-portfolios using Google Sites, which is a free and easy way to build a website. She will share examples of e-portfolios students have created for Graduation with Leadership Distinction, University 101 and other classes. You'll learn about the resources the students can use in Google Sites and hear about how portfolios can be evaluated using rubrics in Blackboard."

REPLIES TO USE AGAIN

Description of Google Sites

Google Sites is a simple way to create a web site. You can make a simple webpage or a site with multiple pages. You can include links to other web sites or add documents, pictures, video clips, etc. The good news is you don't have to know any HTML. If you already have a G-mail account (username@gmail.com), you already have a Google Account and you can access all the Google tools, including Google Sites.

Class demonstration

I would be happy to help. I can show you how to make your own Google Site and I could come to your class and help your students get started. Depending on the day/time and number of students, we may be able to find a computer lab where your class can meet.

LINKS TO VIDEOS

The latest videos that quickly get students started creating their GLD portfolios are found on this site under Quick Links: Video Series.

These are older versions of the training videos - they are longer and more detailed, more like when I did these demonstrations in person!

LINKS TO MATERIALS

Below are links to demonstration notes and handouts I have used.

Notes:

This handout does NOT contain GLD in the title - Demonstration Google Sites_Apr2014.docx - I use for a general Google Sites Training - for people who were not using it to create a portfolio.
