Double Click in New Google Sites

Google Sites has had a major update. You possibly do not have access yet to the new Sites (sites.google.com/new) unless your Apps administrator signed up for the preview. Be patient, it will roll out to everyone eventually (If you want to know when it comes out, follow @jrochelle).

When designing pages in Google Sites you do not have to use the toolbar on the right-hand side. Double clicking on the page brings up this attractive wheel with the option to insert a text box, upload a file, embed a URL, or insert an image.

Imagine having a team of teaching assistants who already know your syllabus and exactly how you like to give feedback. Join Google Certified Innovator Alice Keeler to learn how to use Google Gems to build a powerful collection of custom AI tools.

You will also learn how to leverage Gems shared by other educators to instantly expand your toolkit.
