3. Page Templates and Page Options • You can add a Web page, Announcements, File Cabinet, and

List page • Each page comes with powerful features like page

attachments to add file and comments. The comments feature is well designed and useful for intranet sites.

• Web page. You can arrange this page type as you want: write copy, embed gadgets, attach documents, and also let other collaborators comment on your pages.

• File cabinet. This page type lets you store and manage files, making it easy to share them with other users of your site. Your collaborators can subscribe to the page to get notified when files are added, changed or removed.

6. Page Settings and Page Options• Google Sites keeps the revision history of all the

pages. If you have made any change in a page by mistake or you want to revert to previous version of the page, you can do it under More action button. You can change the page name/title, page URL and page description in page settings. Also you can change page location even once it is created.

and you can select one of them for your page.

9. Work Together and Share • Sharing and Permissions in Google Sites let you

designate owners, collaborators and viewers for your site.

9. Work Together and Share 

Pros: • Encourage student to be self-directed in their learning

as they can select, manage, and assess their own learning activities any time beyond their curriculum time.

• Interactive resources such as Quizlet, Videos etc can be integrated into the google site.

• Helps groups direct their geographical inquiry collaboratively as well as allowing them to review the steps needed in the geographical investigation to encourage self-directed learning.

• Create public website and private intranet more easily and quickly on a secure platform free.

Cons:• Limited page layout and design options so

customization is not an easy option. • Some of the interactives I created from

Classtool could not be embedded using the html code. I have to put the link on the webpage instead.
