R. Byrne suggests you try Silk, Dropr, and Weebly for creating digital portfolios. I've tried only Weebly, and it seems hard to remove items once you've put them into the template -- or to change templates. But these might be worth a trial. Links to these tools at the blog.

Make a video with one of the 3 editors suggested; create a collage importing pictures from your device; create a slideshow with Google Drive; use Silk to create a portfolio that includes docs, video, graphics, and links; invite relatives to virutally attend a graduation ceremony with Skype or Google+. The blog also mentions several other tools for creation and collaboration.

R. Byrne: "Over the course of the school year our students create some fantastic digital products. Building a digital portfolio is a great way for students to look back at everything they've done and organize it into a cohesive package. The following five tools are good services for creating digital portfolios." As always, Byrne gives some good brief examples of the kinds of lessons the tools can be used for. He includes Silk, Dropr, Google Sites, Weebly, and eduClipper. Some instructional videos included.
