Creating E-portfolios using Google Sites
To make use of Google Sites as your e-portfolios it is important that:
You are using Google Classroom to assign your learners their activities
Learners are familiar with using Google Apps such as My Drive
Learners are also able to add links to work they have created in other apps on Hwb, such as Adobe Express, Flip and Just2Easy
Step one- Create and share your e-portfolio template
You can either make a copy of the Flintshire Template and adapt this for your school, or create your own e-portfolio template from scratch using Google Sites.
Once you have your template you will need to add it to a folder in your My Drive.
This folder then needs to be shared with learners through your Google Classroom.
Step two- Your learners make a copy of your template and share access
Your learners can open their Google Classroom to find the link you have shared with them.
They can then click to make a copy of your school's e-portfolio template.
Next, they find their copy in their My Drive and rename it 'Their Name E-portfolio'.
They then need to share access to their portfolio by changing the share permissions, they also need to do this for their Google Classroom folder.
They can then open their e-portfolio and begin to edit it.
Finally, they need to share their link back with you, so that you can see it.
Step three- Your learners share their E-portfolio with you and how these can be managed
You can now share either a Google Doc or Google Form with your learners to collect their links.
so, opening the assignment in Google Classroom, create either a Google Doc with a table or a Google Form with questions and save this to update the assignment.
Your learners will then copy the link to their e-portfolio, open the Google Doc*/Form and paste their link in.
*If using a Google Doc it is important to remove edit access once all learners have added their links.
