After navigating through Google Sites, I found the tool interesting to develop online portfolios. One thing that I learned is that this site is secure, and if I decide to have it private, I can choose a select group of people. If a new visitor wants to have access to it, he/she has to request permission from me. In contrast, if I want to share information with colleagues and students, I can keep this space public.
I consider Google Sites a
good alternative for our students to create their electronic portfolios, share
evidence of their progress, show the reflection of their learning process and
share their achievements with their peers, teachers and parents (showcase
stage). In this space, e-portfolios can be easily updated, and students can
scan assignments, share videos and upload pictures just as my students did this
semester in Life@Tec. Another positive aspect is that my students
work will be stored “in the cloud” and anyone who wants to see their showcase
may have easy access from any place in the world.
Definitely, the cloud is an excellent way of storing learning evidence. We all have to have access anytime and anywhere.
