Google Sites

Google Sites Google Sites is the easiest way to make information accessible to people who need quick, up-to-date access. People can work together on a Site to add file attachments, information from other Google applications (like Google Docs, Google Calendar, YouTube and Picasa), and new free-form content. Creating a site together is as easy as editing a document, and you always control who has access, whether it's just yourself, your team, or your whole organization. You can even publish Sites to the world. http://www.google.com/sites/

Users can monitor changes to pages within a Site and can provide feedback though comments.

Creating new pages and Site components is easy.

Editing a page is like editing a word processing document - with lots of great multimedia extras! It’s simple to embed resources from other Google applications and third-party widgets.

Managing your Site organization and theme is as simple as a mouse click.

Integration Ideas Use Sites as a collaboration platform for group projects. Publish a class website for students and parents. Use Sites to organize clubs, groups, and special initiatives. Instead of just “turning in” a project, have students create a Site to house both the ﬁnal product and manage and reﬂect on the process. Use a Site to showcase student work to provide recognition. Encourage students, parents, and other stakeholders to provide feedback on student work. Have students collaborate on the creation of multimedia extensions of knowledge and skills acquired in classroom instruction. Use Sites as the “home base” for student groups in a Project Based Learning or Challenge Based Learning experience. S h a re y our i de as at http://g oo.g l/mod/xN8m
