A1: I love Google Classroom, but having multiple topics with multiple posts can flood the classwork section. I have found that using pages with subpages in a Google Site is a much cleaner and easier way to package content for students to navigate.
Sites provides an easy way to house all of the tips and tutorials that users might want to reference while learning something new. A1: I love creating Sites for our students when we have new initiatives or procedures. Our MTSS structure is a great example Ss were able to visit that site and receive updates and announcements on where to go, how the procedures were laid out, all in an easy format!
Digital escape rooms are a fun way to introduce, practice or review content and a Google Site provides the perfect "room" for all of your clues and locks.

Posting material on a class website gives students the opportunity to access material from home. Also a big plus for parents trying to help their students! Creating a useful website is a valuable skill. Have students create their own website to share information with classmates or club members. The Friends of the Library club is using it as their platform to keep members informed. Give students the option to create their own site to demonstrate their learning after a lesson or within a unit.
A2: Students can use this as a choice to demonstrate their learning. The beauty of Sites is that since it's all drag and drop, Ss can easily embed their own content, videos from YouTube, or links to other resources.
You can use a URL or embed code to add to your website. Embedding an interactive Padlet allows your students to add content to the site and even comment on their classmate's work without being a contributor to the site.
A3: Embedding an interactive padlet into a Google Site increases engagement and interaction. We want to connect with our students and know how they are doing every day. But it can be difficult to check-in with every student in every one of our classes. Embedding a Google Form inside of your site makes it simple and easy to get started connecting with all of your students. Find an example Google Form check-in template here.
A3: I use a site as my "home base" in the classroom. During instruction, I navigate through all of my material and content through a site, so everything I need is accessible. I also embed a Form for students to "check in" at the board in the AM ditchbook. The new Google Sites allows you to make a copy of a site. This is a useful feature if you want to share a site with someone to collaborate but don't want to lose your original site. Also great for making templates of site designs you use often.
A3: New Google Sites let's you make a copy! Create one and if you like how your creation but don't want to redo Inside of your Google Site on the right hand menu select "Insert" then "Image Carousel" to upload and select the images you want to share. You can even resize the carousel frame to the size you want. A3: Picture Carousel in Google Sites is a great way to share pictures in a concise, organized, and user friendly format.
If you are the owner of the site and the images and embedded resources it can be hard to know which ones are shared and which ones are still private. Checking your site in an incognito window allows you to see what your students or families will see. A3: Check it in an Incognito Window and try every thing! Has saved me from having frustrated scholars because I am able to fix sharing settings before they encounter blocked access.
A button can look so much better than a simple hyperlink. Try it on a new Google site by clicking on "Insert" then scroll down to find the button option. From there you can add a name for your button and a URL or site page to link to. A3: I love the button tool for links. Makes it look so much more streamlined. I like to curate resources into a site for students to use on research projects.
Also great for creating staff resource pages too! If you want to create the content just for yourself or if you are planning to release it later you can hide a page from navigation so that others can't see it even when it's published.
Go to "Pages" then use the three dots next to the page name to choose "Hide from navigation". A3: The hide feature! I can build the pages all at once but hide the ones I dont want them to go to yet. Make your site even more personalized by adding a favicon. Just click on the three dots in the top edit menu and choose "add favicon". You can add your own image or search for one to use. A3 ditchbook I also like how you can add a logo to the site navigation bar and favicon to Google sites.
