Goal 1: Google Sites allows you to easily create websites and web pages.
In another workshop we talked about creating websites, why one might have a desire to do so, and where to start. We introduced Weebly, a free tool to generate websites without doing any computer coding. In this workshop we will go over another similar free tool. This tool is Google Sites. 

Google Sites was created by Google and gives you the ability to easily create a website or web page by dragging and dropping what you want where you want it. You can include images, videos, calendars, text, folders, documents, and more. You can then easily share your creation with only certain people or the entire world.

Goal 3: Learn more about Google Sites with these video tutorials! Then try out Google Sites yourself. The best way to learn something is to experience it. 
To really learn if Google Sites is something you want to use, try it out! Practice with it and experience it for yourself. It can be a very powerful resource for teachers and classrooms, especially with how easy it is to integrate files from your Google Drive.
