- Remind students that they should not change the THEME and should not visit any page but their own.
- This is best completed as classwork (not homework)

- Have students create their own site and collect links in a google form or in a google classroom question
- Instead of sharing the edit link, add individual students as collaboraters as they complete certain assignments.
