BCSD students cannot create Google Sites. Our little hackers figured out how to bypass the district filter using Google Sites. However, teachers can create Google Sites for students and distribute them. Class Sites Duplicator allows teachers to efficiently import student rosters from Google Classroom, create Sites, move or archive students, and even update the roster with new students.

A sheet will be created for each class. It will include a link to the main folder, a link to the class's sub folder, a link to a Google Site that the teacher can edit, and the class roster with email addresses.

If you just imported your roster, a CREATE SITES button appears on the sidebar.
