Google sites is a tool made by Google to create websites for multiple purposes. It can either be for class purposes, for working purposes, etc. It is a great way to organize information and present it to a big audience. 

1. How do you create a Google Site:

The first step is either to log in with a gmail account or sing up using another email you have. Once you are done with that you will choose a template or the page lay out in other words that fits your project's purposes or needs. This will include already some pictures and pages within the site that you can change or delete. The third step is to type in a name for your website. Google will automatically create a link to you site. The fourth step is to to choose the theme of the website which is the colors and the background of the site. The fifth step is to type in a word provided by Google to actually know if its an actual person that its creating the site. 

In order to create a page within your site you click on the icon of a paper with a plus sign. In order for you to make your new page appear on the side bar you click in more actions and then in page settings. Once you are in page settings you click on the little box beside the sentence that says "Show this page on the sidebar" which will enable that page to show on the sidebar and then you click on done and that page will appear there. 

In order to edit or customize you click on edit page in order to change the colors and the background. There is multiple ways to do this. You can click on edit sidebar, or click on more actions and click on edit page or page settings. 

Gadgets are the things you can add to the page like for example the joke of the day, the picture of the day, etc. You go click on the page settings and you go down to add gadgets. You can place them wherever you want in you site. 

I believe that teachers in school can use Google Sites to create a class website where every single assignment  announcement, etc the teacher gives out in class. It is a very organized and simple way to find out about things you missed during class when you are absent, what assignment are due and when, etc. A student in the CNG community can use this amazing Google feature to create a blog for a class, a portfolio, a place to store assignments so they don't get lost, etc.
