How to Build a Website Using Google Sites

Welcome!

Step 1 in creating a website is having an idea. Take a moment and think about or talk with your neighbor about what you want a website for. Is it to provide information? To interact with students? To post the best cat videos?

You should decide, however I would suggest having a website for all of the above! Post Lessons, leave instructions, have students post comments and work and even have a fun page to leave motivation messages, and even post funny videos to create a common language with your kids and coworkers!

Step 2 is design. Using a blank piece of paper, draw out what you want your site's home page to look like. If you want multiple pages you can also draw a site map, but we will do that later. I want you to leave today with a completed home page and be excited to add pages later!


Watch the overview. Do not worry about learning how to build the site at this point, simply watch to understand what Google Sites is and what you can do with it!
