Sites


The Crib Sheet: 


Brief Discussion on google sites along with shared examples of Educational Uses including:

  • Sites for Professional Development
  • Teacher Websites
  • Sites for workshops (hint: are using one now =^)
  • Sites for Student Projects
  • Sites for Student Electronic Portfolios
Many of the above are ways in which I use sites with my classes and such.
