This is a student model site used at CAT Pickering for helping our students see what a base portfolio site should look like. The components represent a student's work over a four year time span.

Your students are using this - it's a great way to connect to former students, old high school friends and distant relatives.

Weebly is a site creation tool that allows non-technical people to create their own basic blog and websites for free. Weebly for educators allows you to have your own blog and class site and also lets you manage your students' portfolio sites. There is a pro edition ($40 year) that opens up some other features like selected password protected pages, audio player, increased file size limit, embedded documents and a file uploader for your site. Weebly comes with 10 student site spaces and additional spaces are reasonably priced.

Diigo is the best of the lot in my opinion! Not only are you bookmarking, you're creating a community of people interested in the same subject. Text on a site can be highlighted, annotated and discussed using Diigo. It's a perfect way for students to discuss a site's content and for them to share their web with you.
