Google sites is a basic webpage and website builder. Sites can be used as a class or student blog, a digital portfolio, informational site for classroom materials, webquests, or for a web page project.

Here are just a few of many possibilities:

• Portfolios- Sites is a fantastic, user-friendly way for students and teachers alike to collect and publish their own work, analyze growth, etc. This allows one to showcase a wide variety of work with one simple URL!

• Collaborative Student Research Projects- Sites is a great way to visually present a variety of information and include a variety of multimedia. Google Sites makes collaboration a breeze- even simultaneous collaboration, so it is a great place for students to collaborate on projects.

• Teacher Created Lessons- Have a lesson you are working on? Make it interactive and include all of your multimedia resources. Embed a Google Form Quiz to evaluate learning!

• Teacher ASW or PDP Portfolios- Google Sites is a fantastic way to collect and publish student examples for your ASW or just as evidence for your End of Year evaluation.

• Staff Development/ Training- Because of its ease and versatility, the Google Sites is a fantastic way to deliver staff development or training, using a variety of files and multimedia.

• Collaborative Teacher Resources Home- Again, because of its easy collaborative nature, Sites is a wonderful place for teachers to collaborate as well and a great place for teachers, committees, PLCs, and other groups to store shared resources.

• Digital Breakouts- Digital Breakouts are a fantastic and engaging way to get students interested in what you're teaching, as well as engage their problem-solving and collaborative skills.
