Digital portfolios are great ways for students to showcase their work and keep track of their learning.

Just head over to its home page, sign up and then click on create my site. Pick out a template for your site and give it a name and description and there you go. Google Sites also allows you to upload your materials into your page including, files, PDFs, videos, pictures and HTML codes.
