Google Sites can be a great platform for trainees to utilize to keep digital portfolios. I did that last year with my computer science concepts trainees. The challenge for an instructor when students use Google Sites for portfolios is keeping track of updates to those portfolios..

The approach that I developed to keep track of updates that trainees made to their Google Sites was to produce a weekly upgrade assignment in Google Classroom.
