One thing I strongly advocate is a well organized website that contains a daily detailing of what goes on in the classroom that day along with any resources and directions the students will need. I find that I am frequently typing “CLICK HERE” to have the students link to a Google Form or something. …
I love using Google Sites (even though this site is a WordPress). Google Sites are quick and easy to get started and are automatically connected to your other Google Products.

If you have ever created a Google Site (http://sites.google.com) for your classroom website or as a demonstration site but are no longer using the site, you may have wondered how to delete the website.

In Google Docs and Google Sites there is an option to see the revision history. Use this to… See who has been working on the document. Revert back to an old revision if you are unhappy with the changes. Revert back to an old version if a collaborator makes changes that were not welcome. Grade…
My preferred method of presenting is to maintain a Google Site and to embed a Google Presentation into the site. For teaching I run my class off of the Google Site page I created (announcement style page). What is nice about this is when I use the insert menu in my Google Site, I can…
