Overview
Setting up a web-presence is an effective way to communicate with your stakeholders. Starting with the end in mind and having a vision of your site's purpose is key to planning an effective site. Who is your audience? What types of content do you intend to share? Will you be using your site to distribute class materials? Will you organize all of your classes on one site? Will you be sharing materials with parents? Will you be sharing files and bookmarks with your colleagues and administrators? What do you want your site to look like in terms of how you organize content? These are just some questions to consider as you envision your Google Site.
