Digital Portfolio Landing Pages

Ending my second year of virtual school and preparing for the third, I've thought about our digital portfolios.  It would be very helpful for students to have a landing page with portfolio's from each year collected in one spot to display their continual growth. 

Step 1: Create a landing page design

Basic is best.  The landing page isn't the highlight, just the storage facility.  In Google Sites, I created a template of just a single page website where links will be added to each year's portfolio.


Step 2:  Share landing page with student and publish

Next, go ahead and make a copy for each student, retitling it with their name.  Share with the student and publish, adjusting the settings as you prefer.  See the video at the bottom for a step-by-step of this process as well as Step 3.

Step 3:  Link already created digital portfolios

Finally, you, or the student, can insert links/buttons for their already existing digital portfolios. Be sure to get the published link for the home page of each portfolio.  This is also demonstrated in the video below.



I am hoping to find this useful as students continue on in our virtual school. This will also make a great keepsake for students and parents for years to come! Comment below and let me know if you have tried this, or something similar, and how it worked for you!

Did you know that you can link web addresses or even other pages of a book in your Book Creator creations? You can!  My students were working on making a book about various states in the United States of America and one of my students wanted to find out about this. After some research, we figured out how to make a table of contents with direct links to pages within her book!   Here is a video that demonstrates . . .

The Starting Point

       As I prepared for my first year of being an official virtual teacher in our school system's new virtual school, I thought of ways that I can prepare my students for the future, not just academically, but also in equipping them for the innovative society in which we live today. With technology at the forefront of our program, what ways could I utilize technology to teach and enhance their academic growth, yet still make it manageable and age-appropriate?      I personally had never blogged before, but knew that I wanted my students to create their own blogs imbedded into their digital portfolios.  That meant that I needed to play around with it myself so I could also model for them the expectation. I had previously used Kidblog in my face-to-face classroom, but I wasn't crazy about the changes made to the platform. I wanted something that would not be public, but could be shared with families. Since students would be creating digital port...
