An introduction to Google sites and how it might be helpful to CLC staff and faculty.

CLC Faculty and Staff FAQ

  • Can we have a password-protected page to post instructor resources (i.e. sample syllabus)?

    Yes! Use Google sites!
  • I'd like a place to post handouts and information for one of my classes.

    OK. Google sites would work for that!
  • Hey, there's a link to "My Web site" under my name in the staff directory...
    I have web space?!?! What do I do with that?

    Take a Dreamweaver class through the PDC, Have the Help Desk install Dreamweaver on your computer. Assuming you are full-time faculty or staff with a college computer. Contact the web developer to help set it all up. Now create your Web site. Good luck!

  • I took a one-day Dreamweaver class!
    Now, how do I create a Web site?

    I went to college for four years and worked in the field for a year before successfully designing and developing my first official Web site. It might take more than a day.

Why Use Google Sites

  • Create a Web site that is public or private (with control over collaborators and viewers)

  • Use a template (lots to choose from), easy to setup, no design or HTML required

  • Create, edit and maintain online, No software required

  • Upload documents, create links, there are different types of page layouts

Other Options

Google sites is great for both public and private sites. But if privacy isn't an issue, consider creating a blog.
