Student Portfolios with Google Sites – SULS091
The post Student Portfolios with Google Sites – SULS091 appeared first on Shake Up Learning.
Student portfolios with Google Sites is a no-brainer!
Student Portfolios are the epitome of Dynamic Blended Learning and going beyond the due date because they are never “done.”
As students learn and grow throughout the year, new work is added to their portfolio to showcase their best work or to show growth over time.
Student portfolios are great for ANY classroom!
In this interview with teacher Mike Mohammad, we take a deep dive into the power of student portfolios. Mike shares what he has learned after seven years of implementing portfolios–how to organize, how to make them student-centered, and the ease of Google Sites!

Quick Tip of the Week (Change link color in Slides)
Don’t you hate it when Google Slides automatically changes the color of your link to a color you don’t want?! Well, you can customize that color to be whatever you want in the Master Slide. Hint: you don’t have to manually change the color of every link in your deck.

Student Portfolios with Google Sites
Mike Mohammad is my go-to resource for student portfolios with Google Sites. He has more than seven years of experience with this strategy!
Mike also contributed a lesson plan to my new book, Blended Learning with Google, on how to implement student portfolios with Google Sites.

Notice: We are dropping the “e” in portfolios. It’s just not necessary. Everything we do is digital now.

Mike teaches high school physics, but don’t let that deter you from exploring this idea. This strategy can be implemented in just about any classroom.
In this unique school year, Mike has continued to implement portfolios with both his in-person students and his online students. Mike said there was zero difference in the quality of what in-person vs. online students produced.
As we all struggle to create meaningful learning experiences for our online students, Mike relied on PhET and Vernier to supplement his science labs.
Why Google Sites?
Google Sites is a cloud-based website creation tool that allows users to build, create, share, and publish for individuals, groups, schools, or the public.
It integrates with other Google apps, so you can easily embed other Google Drive files such as presentations. Google Sites are great for teacher websites, student projects, and e-portfolios. All files are stored in Google Drive.

amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit";
amzn_assoc_linkid = "4c02c8cc44526bc9fbb710edf527215a";
Google Sites has also made it very easy to create a professional-looking website with gorgeous themes, layouts, and more. In fact, Mike and I agree that it’s hard to make Google Sites look bad!
Google Sites has many different publishing options to share these portfolios within our schools or with the outside world.
Types of Portfolios
Start with the why! Don’t forget to define your purpose before you implement portfolios with your students.
Student Showcase Portfolio
Showcase portfolios are a great starting place! A showcase portfolio is a place for students to present artifacts that show mastery of standards or skills. Showcase portfolios work especially well as summative assessments at the end of a grading cycle or semester. Because these are cumulative, they don’t require as much updating throughout the year like some of the other types.
Student Learning Portfolio (Growth over Time)
Another type of portfolio is a learning portfolio in which students track and reflect on the learning process. This type of portfolio requires maintenance and regular updates by the student or teacher. Be sure you plan time each week for students to add new artifacts and reflection.
Learner Profile Portfolio
If a portfolio is going to be more than a file cabinet for student work, it must not only reflect the work students do but also encompass aspects of them as individuals. As outlined by the Institute for Personalized Learning, a learner profile contains demographic and academic information. It also houses information on a student’s skill sets and drivers for learning. (This is Mike’s preferred portfolio.)
Through this type of portfolio, students learn their strengths and weaknesses as learners and reflect on their learning throughout the year.

About Me Page
Mike has students create their site and “About Me” page during the first week of school.
On day one, students are learning to communicate and picking up web design skills. Plus, this helps the teacher get to know the students.
Getting to know your students through portfolios also helps you tap into students who are less likely to speak up in front of the class.
Google Sites gives them the platform to express themselves visually.
Organize Portfolios by Units
Mike has his students organize their portfolios by unit. Within each unit, students connect back to the overarching standards for the course. Students must submit evidence of reaching the goals of each standard.
Other Tools to Integrate into the Portfolio
Mike recommends Flipgrid for students to record introduction videos, reflection, and more.
He also loves to use Pear Deck for synchronous and asynchronous instruction.

How to Add Zoom Link to Google Classroom Header
The post How to Add Zoom Link to Google Classroom Header appeared first on Shake Up Learning.
Have you ever wanted to add your zoom link or additional information for students to the Google 
Classroom header?
Yes, you can add your clickable Google Meet link, but what if you don’t use Meet?
Or, maybe you have other information that you wish was available in the header so students could find it easily?
This tip will help you add additional information and links to the header.
(Note: links will not be clickable, but can be copied and pasted)

How to Add Zoom Link to Google Classroom Header
Special thanks to @VirtualGiff for sharing this tip with the Google Teacher Podcast!
When Google introduced the integration of Google Meet with Google Classroom, they added a special feature that a lot of teachers love. When you generate the Meet link in Google Classroom, you can share it in the header so students can see it and access it quickly.
Related: How to Integrate Google Classroom and Google Meet
But many schools use Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or other video chat platforms instead of Google Meet.
Here’s a workaround. It’s not perfect, and the link WILL NOT BE CLICKABLE like the Meet link, but it’s better than nothing!
STEP 1: Go to the Class in Google Classroom
STEP 2: Go to the Settings (click on the Settings icon near the top right of the page).
STEP 3: Under the first section named “Class Details” and add your additional links or other information to the additional fields that you don’t use–class description, section, room, or subject.
STEP 4: Click SAVE
The link or information you entered will now appear on the header in the Google Classroom Stream.
It’s not perfect, but it’s a nice workaround. Be sure to teach your students how to copy and paste. Every student will need copy and paste skills!

Here’s what @CoolCatTeacher, Vicki Davis had to say about Blended Learning with Google:
As a classroom teacher, the joy of this book is it quickly goes from theory to practical, simple classroom examples that can be used to transform teaching right away. Right now with so much learning online, we have to do better. I think Kasey’s book helps all of us do that. Now is the time to pick up this book, discuss it with colleagues and shake up our blended, distance, hybrid, and face to face learning. – Vicki Davis, host of the 10-Minute Teacher Podcast

Paper is never enough for me! I cannot talk about dynamic learning and give you a static book. So I have created a companion website with a dedicated page for each chapter, including additional resources, posts, videos, and more, as well as book study questions.
#2: Pro Tips
Throughout Blended Learning with Google, I have included “pro tips” to help any educator become more efficient and effective with Google tools.
