One question I get asked a lot is whether or not you need both Google Sites and Google Classroom. The quick answer is that if you use Google Classroom, setting up a class website with Google Sites is optional. However, if you run a class website with Google Sites, you need to use Google Classroom. In this week's education technology tutorial, Sam Kary shows you why!

I created my own Google sites for my classes after my nightmare with Moodle!! Your video tutorial was so easy I decided to try it!! It was SOOOO easy to create and I could add my own personal touches to my class website! It's also more organized than the long list of assignments and materials that Google Classroom creates by the end of the semester! My coworker loved it and my students thought it was so much more attractive than other platforms. I also integrated it with Google Classroom so that they could find their assignments on the website without having to go into Google Classroom unless they want to see their grades. However, I noticed that students still have to click on "Turn In" so that Google Classroom detects that they did the assignment. Thanks again for the tip for the assignment link!!

I agree, Jasmine! They are incredibly easy to make! Glad to hear you had a good experience with it, and thanks for the reminder about needing to tell students to click "turn in." If you make copies of assignments via Classroom, you'll still be able to see all of their work by clicking View Assignment, or by clicking on the Google Drive folder, even if they didn't turn it in! But I agree, it's important to remind students to click Turn In as well so that you know whether or not they believe their assignment is done.

I started using google sites as a format for collecting my students' assignments in November. It worked great, especially for research tasks.

Hi Roberto, are you still routing those assignments through Google Classroom, or just post them as separate documents on your class site?

@rcpesantesv 3 жыл бұрын

@@NewEdTechClassroom Yes!! As you said in the video, we can't use google sites WITHOUT google classroom for academic purposes.

Question: If I have 3 different Google Classroom Classes for any subject I teach (ELA), am I able to copy any classroom assignment (Three dots) copy the link, and add to hyperlink into Google Sites? Or would I need to make subpages in Google Sites for each (ELA) class, and add the copied assignment link to the hyperlink on Google Sites?

Love your videos! They have been so helpful to me since I started in teletherapy. I can't seem to find an answer to a question I have about Google Sites. If I sign on to a game I have embedded from Wordwall, for example, can I sign in and play the game with the student in real time?

Amazing tutorial as usual !! Question: If you post all of your assignments on Google sites, just as you do in GC, wouldn't you get that overflow of assignments as we see in GC? Can you also suggest other sites that are similar in functionality to GS for teachers?

@NewEdTechClassroom 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! No, not if you link directly to the Google Classroom assignment. You need to click on the three dots next to the assignments to copy it, and then go to Google Sites to paste it in. I honestly wouldn't recommend any other website builders for classroom purposes because other website builders won't integrate with education products. If you use Google Classroom and want a website, you definitely want to go with Google Sites.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! How do I make it so that students and families can only see their own portfolio on the teacher’s student portfolio page? Or do you hide the student portfolio page?

@NewEdTechClassroom Жыл бұрын

Unfortunately you can only set the view settings on the entire Google Site; you can't make one page viewable to one group of people and another page viewable to another group of people. It is good to share student work with their permission with the wider community though; it gives them more of an authentic audience as opposed to only their parents and their teacher seeing it. You should ensure you do not include full names of students. I recommend using the first name only.

As for pushing out and collecting assignments. this is where I am stumbling. I can see students have completed assignment, but it is a chore to find where it is saved in order to grade. Is there a simple way to make sure i can access completed quizzes and assignments in the gradebook?

@NewEdTechClassroom 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Nancy, when you click "view assignment" on Google Classroom, you'll be able to see all the assignments in a single place for all of your students. This works best when you choose to make copies of each assignment for students.

So, if you are using both of these in conjunction, do you not necessarily need to organize your google classroom as much as you are focusing on keeping your Google site much more student and family-friendly? Obviously, you still want to have some semblance of organization but we don't need to worry so much about that for Google Classroom as we do on the website?

@NewEdTechClassroom Жыл бұрын

I'd try to keep them both pretty organized b/c you may have students who end up utilizing Classroom more and it'll just make both of your lives easier if it's clear where to find things on both Sites & Classroom.

I'm creating a google Sites for my classes. I am organizing it by quarters 1, 2 and 3, is it possible to somehow not make the pages of future quarters visible? and that they can only see the quarter they are working? Thank you so much for everything.

You can try hiding the page. Here's a website that shows how to do that - alicekeeler.com/2018/02/04/google-sites-hide-page/
