Description: We live in a time when our classroom activities can reach beyond the walls of our classroom. Students get excited and inspired when their learning has an audience and purpose. This session is designed to help learning in the classroom become more organized, intentional, and visible. Google Sites can be used as Classroom Hubs and ePortfolios to help gain that audience. We will focus on the planning that goes into creating a site, and we will look at how to build a NEW Google Site from scratch. Yes, you can build a clean, personalized and engaging Google Site in just a few minutes! We will start with the basics and quickly rev up to geeky in no time!
