Tips and Tricks


Staff Development Sites Ideas

  • Hub for staff development activities/handouts
  • Workshop resources
  • Lesson collections

Classroom Sites are great for:

  • Group collaboration
  • Project outcome
  • Research
  • Hub for teacher/class
  • Portfolios

Other Ways to Use Sites

  • Communication hub for school
  • Activity or athletic web site
  • Online curriculum fair


Management Tips with Sites, Apps and Students
  • Add teacher as collaborator immediately
  • Create a site category that all students put in to reflect topic
  • Have students move or delete their own site prior to end of school year
  • Add personal email account as collaborator as well to the sites you create

Just for Fun

Activity
  • With a small group of three, create a Google Site. (One participant will create the site and add others as collaborators.)
  • Decide on a topic for the site. Ideally this will be something that a student or teacher might use. (Or something fun to liven up the afternoon!)
  • Practice adding pages and content.
  • Practice embedding documents, presentations, videos, and more.
  • Add the lead learner as a collaborator on your site. Links to each site will be shared below.
  • A representative from each group will share their site with the large group. (Time Permitting)
