Google Sites

With ease of use and interactive design, Google Sites is a Google web application that enables users to create wikis and websites. Google Sites is free to use and is included in the G-Suite for Business and Education (with a paid version that provides more storage capability). Check out Google Sites if you're looking for a basic drag-and - drop web design platform for designing class websites, student project sites, or encouraging students to demonstrate their skills in various ways. 

Sites

Effortlessly create impactful team sites


Move, drag and drop, edit, done

Creation and editing is extremely simple: just click, drag or drop. The design will rearrange automatically with a grid layout. Everything fits into the best place, and is simple to move, resize, or rearrange. 

Designed for collaboration

Sites makes collaborating easy with real time co-editing and the same powerful sharing controls you're used to in Drive and Docs. Just like in Docs, you can work together and see each other’s changes in real-time as you type. 

Secure your site, without requiring IT

Users can easily manage sharing permissions and ownership in Sites with only a few clicks, like they would a Doc. Embedded content retains its original permissions for reliable, fine-grained control. 

Learning Activities

Math: Students can create a math-based educational website. Examples being a tutorial for a certain math process, an overview of a branch of mathematics, or maybe an interactive biographical site about a given mathematician.

Science: Google Sites is a great tool for creating digital science labs that students can follow along with on their own. There are a number of great examples of science teachers that have created their own interactive lab sites.

English/Language Arts: Online book reports, classroom discussion forums, and informative sites about literary movements are some possible uses of Google Sites for an ELA classroom.

Other uses: More generally, any classroom teacher could use Google Sites to create a one-stop hub for their students. Homework reminders, important resources, syllabi, and discussion forums are just a few ways a teacher could utilize this tool to make their learning experience go beyond just the classroom.

E-Portfolios: Google Sites can be used to to track a student’s learning or progression throughout their year or multiple years. Check out more info on E-Portfolios here.
