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)
