How to video of everything we will be covering.

Google sites (your web-page) should be used as the central hub for your classroom. If you use Google Classroom, it should be a window into your class for your parents. It should run almost as if it were an online class, yet the teacher is on site to explain and help out in any way they can.


We will look at how to:

  • Add Headings
  • Use Footer
  • Use Layouts/Themes
  • Hack Color
  • Class calendar from Google classroom (make sure calendar is made public)
  • Use the embed feature for different apps
  • Embed Google Drive, traditional vs. "Publish to web" option
    • Use Drawings and slides
  • Videos for extra help
  • Favicon
  • Custom Banner (1280x800, typical laptop screen )

Your students should create a website as well to be used as a running portfolio/notebook of all the work they have completed. Once they create the work in Google docs, it is easily inserted into their class website. Example
