I just run into this post. I am an ICT coach at the school that I work for. For more than a year we have been using google sites to teach students how to create a portfolio on line and it works prety well for our needs. When the class assignment involves an electronic creation, students from sixth to ninth grade post their work in their portfolio, and the subject teacher can review it there, without the need of leaving a USB with the work or sending the file by mail; students insert google documents and graphic files (fireworks, Gimp creations), embed presentations and movies (keynote, powerpoint, or iMovies that are converted to youtube videos), and insert all types of files. The portfolio has a navigation page for each one of the subjects, and subpages for each one of their works (which the students create). They also have RSS feeds to each one of the teachers’ account, to be aware of weekly plans and homework. Everything in one single place. All the teachers have access to the portolio address through the school’s website, so just go to the groups where the student is, click on the name, and there they are.

Hi Ellen -

Foliospaces looks pretty cool. The idea of Google Sites was that as long as you’re willing to create and organize the pages where you would put links and copies of electronic materials, you could create an eportfolio for free (with a good deal of flexibility), and keep it as long as you wish.

Thanks for mentioning foliospaces – I’ll have to give it a closer look.

Google sites seem very limited in a number of ways, including that a new site has to be created if you want to created a portfolio for other purposes and/or different access. So, for example, if you want to have a blog of your internship that you wish to share with your advisor, and a blog that is a literary review for english, you’ll need to create a separate site for each of them. Then, you can’t easily pull posts from either of your blogs into a professional site with which you might wish to share selected pieces of work with the public.

Google sites seems to foster a disjointed view of a persons work–controlled mostly by access. Are my observations incorrect?

Have you checked out foliospaces (which uses Mahara)?
