Editor's Notes
- Preparation: Turn on and check all computers for Internet connectivity Place hand-outs beside each computer Notepad or Paper Pen Agenda Tic-Tac-Toe hand-out Picasa Hand-out List of resources District Evaluation Form
- Make sure everyone has logged on to the computers and accessed the Internet successfully.
- Refer learners to the agenda
- Once you have your email loaded, look at the menu above the Tiger head. Click on “Sites”. You will want to select the top option on the next page.
- Create new site and……
- A security warning should appear. Since we know that our IT department has approved our use of Google Sites, we will click on NO so that all content will be delivered.
- Plans are a great thing to have. Sometimes, however, it is difficult to make plans for a journey to a place you have never been and have no knowledge of. Google sites walks you through the process pretty painlessly. The only thing you truly cannot change will be the Name of your site once you have it created. But, even then, you can delete the entire page and start over. We will talk about how to do that later.
- (Each picture is a link to that page on the Internet) Google Sites provides a selection of Templates to choose from and while that is great, unless you have the content to fill the site, it may not be the best choice today. But, just so you get an idea of what these sites templates can do, we are going to take a look at a few. Select the links and quickly explore multiple pages and links. News Count down Gallery Forms and docs Poll Learn more about working with Templates—this site is on your more resources page. Benchmark dates
- Again, for today, you will be creating you own site without a template. What’s in a name? If you teach a program only, you may want to name your site that way, ex. Automotive Technology If you teach a variety of courses, you may want to name your site with your last name.
- Themes add color, personality, and cohesiveness to a website. Select one that reflects your Style!
- When you are ready to let Jane link your site to the District Webpage you will need to Share with Everyone. While we are working on building your site, let’s mark it for Only people I specify. Please leave the Mature content box BLANK!
- Verify, Create, Ta-Da! You have created a webpage. Good Job!
- Today we are only working with Web Pages. If you would like to learn more about using the other types of pages we can schedule another workshop. Just remember to mention it on your evaluations.
- More Actions works with the BIG stuff on your pages.
- Bring up the Polls PowerPoint to watch the charts develop and evaluate the learning.
