Google Sites can be an excellent platform for students to utilize to keep digital portfolios. In reality, I did that last year with my computer science principles trainees. The challenge for an instructor when students utilize Google Sites for portfolios is keeping an eye on updates to those portfolios..

The method that I came up with to track updates that trainees made to their Google Sites was to produce a weekly update task in Google Classroom. Every week students added a new page to their sites. They then had to react to the project with a link to the new pages they made in their Google Sites..
In this short video I demonstrate how to track updates to trainees Google Sites by utilizing Google Classroom projects. The video shows an instructors point of view and it shows a students viewpoint of this approach..
