Google Sites looks like a website and can be just a website but it can also be the resource hub for your classroom. Students and Parents can access the information you need to share, along with photos, calendars, and many other resources - all from the convenience of a cell phone too. Our time during this session will present several options using Google Sites and get you started on a site for your Fall 2021 classes.
