Description:
Organize, Update and Share With Google Sites! With this, you can create functional, attractive web pages in just minutes— without having to learn code. This session is for educators interested in creating a simple easy to use web site that can be easily published with a click of a mouse. This is a great tool for educators because Google will host your page for free.


It's That Easy!
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 class, or your whole school. You can even publish Sites to the world. The Google Sites web application is accessible from any internet connected computer.


Quick Facts:

* Single-click page creation - Creating a new page for your Google Site just takes the click of a button.

* No HTML required - Creating a Google Site is as easy as editing a document, which means there's no markup language for you to learn -- just get started.

* Make it your own - Our customization options let you give your Google Site your own look and feel

* Get started with templates - Google offers a growing list of page types -- web page, announcements, file cabinet, dashboard and list --to help you get started with your Google Sites pages.

* Upload files and attachments - Use the file cabinet to upload files up to 10MB in size. Each Google Apps account receives at least 10GB of storage in Google Sites. Google Apps Premier and Education editions get an additional 500MB for each user account.

* Embed rich content - Google Sites is integrated with other Google products, so you can insert videos, docs, spreadsheets, presentations, photo slide shows, and calendars directly onto your Google Sites pages.

* Work together and share - Google's permission settings let you designate owners, viewers and collaborators (meaning they can edit pages) for your site. And you can make your Google Sites available to just a few people, your entire school, or the world.

* Search with Google - You can search across Google Sites pages and content using powerful Google search technology. You'll find specific pages and documents instantly, the same way you would on Google.com.
