Google Sites is one of the many free tools offered online by Google, Inc. The site enables you to create your own website. For our purposes, I focused on how a teacher could use it to create a class site for her students and their parents. All you need to access Google Sites is a Google Account, but you can use one of your email addresses to create one. You can choose from a variety of backgrounds, layouts and text options as you begin. It easily allows you to edit and add pages you as choose.

A teacher could use this as a means of easily communicating information to parents all at once, eliminating the need for paper notices that can easily be lost. It also allows parents to keep up to date on activities going on in the classroom. For example, it is very easy to add photographs to pages. Students would have no more excuses for forgetting their homework assignments because they can be accessed on the website 24/7. Google Sites would allow a busy teacher to efficiently use a class website as her main means of communication between home and school.[|Google Sites]
