The NEW Google Sites
Yes! It’s true. There is FINALLY a new version of Google Sites. We’ve heard rumors of this elusive update for the last couple years, but now we have access.
If you have ever attended my Google Sites training, you know that I often refer to Google Sites as an, “acquired taste.” While it may seem off-putting and antiquated compared to other website platforms out there, the power is in the way it connects to all of the other Google Apps. That alone has helped schools launch Google Sites in K12 schools across the globe, using Sites for e-portfolios, teacher websites, campus websites, edcamp websites, training websites, and much more. It hasn’t been pretty, but many have developed strategies to make it so. Some of us have even nerded out a little hacking the platform.
