(Here is one of the many sources for help and tutorials on creating and managing a site on Google Sites)
1) In order to collaborate on a Google Sites site, you must have a Google Account - which is different from a gmail email address!
2) So, if you do not have a Google Account (you don't need a gmail address!), create one first, using your Pinewood School email address, at: https://accounts.google.com/signup, and select "I prefer to use my current email address" (which should be your Pinewood email address).
3) Again, use your Pinewood School email address when you create the Google Account.
4) Then, go to sites.google.com
5) Click on “Create” and fill in the information on the form, paying attention to the following:
a) Use your Google Account information above. Use your Pinewood School email address.
b) You need to find a site name (URL) that is not in use, which may be frustrating, but write it down, once you found one.
c) If you select an ePortfolio-related template (from the “Schools & education” template gallery), you will have less customization to do, once you have created the site.
i) For example, use the “E-Portfolio” template
6) After you create the site, you can add or remove pages/tabs, as you wish, but please make sure you have a page/tab for each of your projects and activities, which we are going to create in this class.
7) For each of the project and activity pages, make sure you turn commenting on, so that others in class can provide you with feedback through their peer reflections (following SOUL).
8) For each of your project and activity pages, make sure to include:
a) The name of the project or activity
b) A link to the project or activity requirements and/or description
c) A publicly shared URL to your project or activity (for example, the link to your work on the Scratch site)
d) If it is a project or activity done with a partner, make sure to list the partner’s name.
e) Your SOUL reflection on your project:
i) Strengths, Opportunities, Understandings, Limitations
